Art vs. Art
Friday, September 26, 2014
Vogue Theatre
6259 N. College Avenue
21+, 8:00 PM, $12 advance, $15 day of
I think this is the 13th year for Art vs. Art and it never gets old. The event is a head-to-head painting competition. All of the artists on Paint Day received the same materials; an 18x24 canvas, a pack of brushes, and acrylic paints in red, yellow, blue, black and white. The 85 artists that entered had four hours to paint. (See pictures this issue)
Those paintings will be culled down to 32 by popular vote. You can vote from now to September 25 at 5:00 on the Art vs. Art website.
Those 32 paintings will be on display at the Vogue and the audience casts their votes and narrows the field to 16. Final judging involves four rounds of head-to-head competition. Two randomly selected paintings square off on stage as the audience cheers wildly for their favorite. The electronic applause meter sends the winner to the next round. The losing painting faces the threat of destruction (by chain saw, pizza sauce, samurai sword, etc.) as determined by a spin of the ominous "Wheel of Death." A painting can only be saved from its impending doom if someone purchases the painting for the minimum purchase price. Artists take home 70% auction price.
The last painting standing is crowned the Art vs. Art 2014 champion. The stakes are high (I have to close my eyes when the art is destroyed), but the rewards are sweet (a $4000 check and the title belt, plus sash and a serenade). Come support the arts like never before. . . or some art will die.

Not-for-profit director by day, music writer by night, Nora Spitznogle reviews music that happened and previews music and events around Broad Ripple Village. Nora managed CATH Inc coffeehouse at 54th Street and College Avenue for seven years. During that time she hosted hundreds of local and touring musicians, both at the coffeehouse and her home. When CATH closed in 2004 and the music was no longer coming to her, she had to wander from her corner of Broad Ripple to see what is happening elsewhere. You can find her at Second Helpings during the work day, waitressing at the Red Key on Saturday nights and prowling Broad Ripple music venues the rest of the time.
