Art meets adrenaline.

Canvas Clash is a high-energy live painting event where 12 artists go head-to-head in front of a live crowd in the Roundhouse Club Bar . With brushes, paint, and pure creative chaos, each artist has just minutes on the clock to turn a blank canvas into something incredible.

Here’s how it works:

🎨 12 Artists Total

Two qualifying rounds with 6 artists each
Top 2 from each round (voted by the audience) go through to the final

⏱️ Round Times

20 minutes per qualifying round
30 minutes for the final

🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Audience Voting

At the end of each round, the crowd votes for their favourite piece

🏆 One Winner

4 finalists compete in the final round - 1 overall winner is crowned

It’s fast. It’s fun. It’s where art meets adrenaline.

You’ll be watching creativity unfold in real time and getting those around you together to decide who comes out on top.

Whether you're stepping up to the canvas or cheering from the crowd, this is one art battle you won’t want to miss.
