Ready. Set. PAINT!

Three Nights • 24 Artists • One Top Brawler

Join us Saturdays, March 7, March 14, and March 21, 2026, for Sioux City’s favorite live painting showdown - Art Brawl!

Over two high-energy preliminary nights - March 7th & 14th - 24 artists will go brush-to-brush in 30 minute live painting challenges. At the start of every round, a creative prompt is given to the artists to life on the canvas in front of the audience!

So.. how are finalists of each round chosen? At Art Brawl, YOU are the judge! At the end of every round, the audience casts their votes to decide who moves on. Six finalists from Nights 1 and 2 will earn their place in the Grand Championship on March 21, where they’ll face off one last time for the title of Top Brawler 2026.

Grab a drink, wander the room, and see each artist’s process up close with DJs spinning all night long. Tickets are just $5 at the door!

The fun begins at 7pm each night!
