Calling all artists – the stage is set, the canvas is waiting, and the spotlight is yours! ART 64® presented by North Shore Bank is back, and we want YOU to be part of the action!

What is ART 64?
Discover Wauwatosa’s ART 64, presented by North Shore Bank, is a one-of-a-kind live painting competition where 64 artists go head-to-head in a bracket-style tournament. The twist? The public votes in real-time to determine who advances through three rounds of fierce competition—all for a shot at the $20,000 grand prize!

Important Details:
Event Date: June 6-7, 2025
Grand Prize: $20,000
Who Can Apply? Any Artist Age 18+ Across the Country
Deadline to Apply: February 28, 2025

This is your chance to showcase your talent to a lively crowd and engage with a supportive community of art lovers. Plus, it’s a wonderful opportunity to grow your network, be inspired by other artists, and potentially win big! All participants receive money for participating, increasing based on the round they reach in the competition.

Last year’s winner, Tyrone Acierto, reflected on the experience: “Winning the ART 64 painting contest was one of the most rewarding and inspiring experiences of my career. The live painting format challenged me to push my creative boundaries, while the support and energy of the community fueled my work. I encourage all artists to apply—not just for the chance to showcase your talents, but to join a vibrant network of creators and art lovers.”
