Soo, any weekend plans yet? Let me tell you a little something about mine. This Sunday, the third edition of the Amsterdam Art Battle will take place at Pllek. So all you art lovers around here, listen up!
The Art Battle is an amazing live-painting event, where sixteen artists compete with each other. The Art Battle is an world wide event that started out in 2001, but only this year it made its first appearance in Amsterdam. Which seems to be a perfect match. After a great first edition in June, the second an third were immediately set up.
In two separate rounds, eight artists get twenty minutes to paint their best painting. As they work, the audience moves around a stage with the easels, closely watching the creative process. The main material is acrylic paint and all sorts of tools are allowed, like; brushes, palette knives or any non-mechanical implements. After the twenty minutes the audience can choose their favorite artist and cast a vote. Each round will have two winners, making four finalists to compete for the title.

In between rounds, the paintings will be auctioned. This way the audience will get a chance to buy their favorite painting, for an affordable price. Of course, the concept is a great way for (beginning) artists to get exposure, new experiences and come in contact with art lovers. It brings them together in an exciting, unique way.
Best thing? The event is made possible by the guys from Sweet Bob Amsterdam, guaranteeing good music, delicious brigadeiros and great vibes.
