Join Lanesboro Arts for a fast-paced, live painting showdown! This event will take place at Sylvan Brewing on Thursday, July 13th from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. as part of the 30 year anniversary for the Lanesboro art gallery—now a part of Lanesboro Arts. There, six artists within this elimination-style tournament will create art and compete in real time. Attendees at this event will see art created right before their eyes in a raucous yet family-friendly environment.
In the first round, two separate groups of three artists will compete against each other in their group. One winner will be chosen from the two groups to then compete against each other, crowning a winner. Rounds lasting 20 minutes each are observed by attendees, who will then vote on their favorites. Attendees will enjoy seeing art created right before their eyes along with enjoying their favorite beverage from Sylvan Brewing.
Not only do artists have an important part in this event, but the attendees do as well! All people in attendance are given three tickets when they arrive to be used to vote once between each round. A judges or voting table is set up in the space with six buckets (one for each artist). Attendees have five minutes between each round to vote for their favorite work by placing a ticket in corresponding artist’s bucket. Volunteers then count the number of tickets in each bucket and announce the artists that will advance or—if it is the final round—who has won.
A food truck and anniversary beverage specials will also be available for attendees of Canvas Clash. Admission for this event will be $20; tickets include a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic).
To honor and celebrate the legacy of the Lanesboro Arts Gallery—and all of the artists, community members, and patrons who’ve contributed to it—we are also hosting a juried group show and special anniversary receptions. More information on our events calendar!
