ART 64®
Every June, ART 64® kicks off the Summer event season in Wauwatosa by taking over the streets of The Village. Over two days, 64 artists compete head-to-head in a live, bracket-style painting tournament, where each artist is given 60 minutes to paint a predetermined theme on canvas.
During each round of competition, spectators are able to watch paintings come to life as artists showcase their talents. After each round of painting, spectators both in person and virtually, can vote for their favorites to advance to the next round. The third and final round of the competition determines the grand prize winner of $20,000.
All paintings created during ART 64 are available for sale through an online auction during the event, except the grand-prize-winning painting (which will be displayed in Wauwatosa’s City Hall).
A truly unique experience awaits every artist and spectator who attends each year. In addition to the art competition, event attendees can enjoy music, entertainment, food trucks, and a kid’s area filled with activities. Visitors also have the chance to explore The Village of Wauwatosa and its dozens of restaurants, shops, and experiences.
Stay tuned on our website and social media to learn more about new experiences being added to the event.
