ART MAYHEM! – A Timed Painting Showdown
The Collingwood Arts Center presents ART MAYHEM!, a high-energy, two-part painting tournament where artists face off using only five brushes, five colors and five hours to create their best work—no outside supplies allowed. A People’s Choice will be chosen, while other works will enter dramatic head-to-head “face-offs” at Fringe Fest 2025, with one final piece named The Survivor. Artists compete for a $250 cash prize and the finalists’ work will be auctioned to support the Center. Sunday, September 14, 1 pm. Collingwood Arts Center, 2413 Collingwood Blvd. Artist fee: $25.
