Art Battle Victoria - November 20, 2026

Created in the moment—your vote shapes the night. Art Battle is live, competitive painting like you’ve never seen before. In three fast-paced rounds, artists battle the clock and each other to create their best work in just 20 minutes. As they paint, you’ll move around the easels, witnessing the creative process up close. Grab a beverage, cast your vote to help decide the winner, and bid in a silent auction to take your favourite piece home.

Produced by: Christine Richardson Event Services and Consulting Special thanks to the event team: Nikki Frazer and Sam Wright This event is made possible through the generous support of our community partners: Island Savings and Hoyne Brewing. Also featuring: JagHed Studios This event takes place on the lands of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) Peoples, known today as the Songhees Nation and Esquimalt (Kosapsum) Nation. Territorial acknowledgments are only a small step in the broader work of dismantling colonial systems that continue to impact Indigenous communities. We invite guests to move beyond acknowledgment by engaging in redistributing resources and self education. A great local resource for this is the Indigenous Perspectives Society.
