Wauwatosa and NEWaukee are excited to announce ART 64, a one-of-a-kind, bracket-style live painting tournament in Wauwatosa on June 3 and 4, 2022. After four rounds of competition, the winner will take home $20,000.

The competition will feature 64 artists from around the country who will be paired to go head-to-head and given a set period to create a work of art on canvas. The public will vote for their favorite paintings on the ART 64 website. The artist in each pairing with the most votes will advance to the next round. The final eight artists will then compete for a $20,000 grand prize.

The event will be free and open to the public and will take place in the Village of Tosa. Harwood Avenue, State Street, and Underwood Avenue will be closed to traffic between Wauwatosa Avenue and State Street for the duration of the event.

Attendees can also enjoy drinks from ART 64 sponsor Lowlands Group, food, and musical entertainment throughout the tournament. Guests will also have the opportunity to check out and support the local businesses in the Village of Tosa during the event.

“Live art making is an incredible performance and takes great skill. We look forward to celebrating artists and welcoming visitors to Wauwatosa for this special experience,” says Melissa Weiss, Deputy City Administrator for the City of Wauwatosa.
