After a gruelling 3 months of competition, over which we have seen some of the finest artistic talent in Sydney scale the scaff to smash out their expression on the walls of Name This Bar, ArtBattles Australia culminates in the Summer Series Grand Final this Thursday night!
Wild card Naomi Van Anen is set to shake the bones of the formidable Taryn Culbert in what is set to be a showdown of epic proportions & awesomeness.
This time around the artist have been given free reign to express themselves as they choose, so without the constraints / guidance of a theme, get down to NTB on Thursday night to see what the girls come up with in their attempt to win the series & take home the $1000 prize money, $250 Lightsounds gift voucher, $180 pair of shoes from Tiger Beer Australia & Tiger Onitsuka, a bottle of VodkaO + more!
Join your hosts Simon Mercier & More TBA from 8pm on Thursday night to witness us crowning the winner of Artbattles Australia Summer Series!
