painting competition

Discover Wauwatosa seeks 64 artists to participate in ART 64 presented by North Shore Bank, a two-day live bracket-style painting tournament taking place in The Village of Wauwatosa.

In three (3) rounds taking place June 5-6, 2026 (rain date on June 7, 2026) artists will be paired to go head-to-head within the given timeframe to create a work of art – 60 minutes in round 1, 75 minutes in round 2, and 90 minutes in round 3 (the final round.) Each round will be the theme/subject of each artist’s choice.

Members of the public, both in-person and virtually, will be invited to watch the paintings come to life and vote for their favorite artists online. (Artist live streaming is encouraged!)

All participants will receive money for participating, increasing based on the round they reach in the competition.
