Before you join us

A few good questions.

What is Battle of the Brush?

Battle of the Brush is a live painting competition where artists work in teams, audiences watch the creative process and audience voting helps decide the winner. Individual shows may have different themes and programme details.

Do I need to know about art to attend?

No. You can enjoy watching the artists work, discovering different styles and choosing the paintings that connect with you. Check the individual show for admission and age requirements.

Where can I find upcoming shows and tickets?

The upcoming shows section lists our Vancouver and Manila editions. Both dates are currently to be announced. Once ticket sales open, a Buy tickets button will appear for the relevant show and take you to its event checkout.

Can my company sponsor a show?

Yes, we welcome sponsorship enquiries. Tell us your target market, objectives, timing and budget range so we can discuss an appropriate event and available deliverables.

Can I bring Battle of the Brush to my city?

We welcome enquiries from prospective local operating partners. Share your location, event experience and proposed launch timing. We'll discuss suitability, territory availability and the applicable requirements.

Can I buy paintings made at the event?

Artwork-sale opportunities and the method of sale depend on the individual show. Ask the local organising team about availability, artist terms and collection arrangements.
