Event History

This is the 4th Annual Art 64 competition. The 2024 ART 64 event saw over 11,000 visitors in The Village of Wauwatosa, thousands of votes cast for artists, and over 100 tournament paintings sold.

What Makes this event different?

During three rounds, 64 artists are paired to compete head-to-head, allotted 60 minutes to craft a work of art on a predetermined theme on canvas. The public, both in-person and virtually, is encouraged to witness the artistic process, casting votes for their preferred artists to advance online.

Image Usage Rights

Artist agrees that artist and artwork created during ART 64 can and will be photographed and may be used by the City of Wauwatosa for promotional and other purposes.

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.”
