As artists work, spectators can watch the creative process come to life. At the end of each round, the audience and judging panel will vote for their favorite paintings in real time. The top two artists from each round will advance to the final round and battle it out for the championship. One-of-a-kind works of art will be available for auction following the event. All funds raised will benefit FIT students. 

We look forward to seeing you at FIT’s first Live Art Duel!
