If you’re looking to shake up your Friday night routine this month, forget Netflix and embrace the energy of live creativity at Art Battle Saint John. This is not your average evening out. Think of it as an electrifying blend of art, competition, and community spirit – all unfolding under the historic roof of the Kent Theatre, a Saint John gem.
Watching Paint Fly
Judge, Jury, and Hype Squad
Art Battle isn’t just an event; it’s an experience. Think incredible local artists going head-to-head, creating masterpieces in just 20 minutes per round. The stakes? Bragging rights, artistic glory, and the crowd’s approval. That’s where you come in.
This isn’t some hands-off gallery visit. As an audience member, you’re not just a spectator—you’re a judge. With a simple vote, you decide which artist moves forward and ultimately crowns the night’s champion. It’s an art democracy, and your voice matters.
Energy, Art, and All Ages Welcome
If the thrill of live art isn’t enough to entice you, the event’s atmosphere certainly will. From the electric hum of brushes meeting canvas to the buzz of anticipation as the timer ticks down, there’s an undeniable energy in the air. The silent auction is another draw, offering you a chance to take home an original piece of art—one created before your very eyes. Not many Friday nights offer that kind of tangible takeaway.
Oh, and if you’re bringing the little ones, kids under 5 get in free. It’s an all-ages affair, making it a perfect outing for families, date nights, or even a solo night of inspiration.
