ART THROWDOWN DETAILS COMING SOON
Artistry 2027
The Armory’s ART THROWDOWN is Iron Chef meets the art world! Part live performance, part art sale, and part party, this is one of Palm Beach’s liveliest fundraising events of the year.
Watch five artists go head-to-head in a 60-minute creative challenge, using shared supplies and a mystery box of unusual materials to create original works of art. Cheer on your favorites, vote for the winner, and bid on the artwork at the end of the competition. The winning artist will also receive a solo exhibition in the Armory’s gallery.
Enjoy an exhibition and sale of faculty and student artwork, along with music, cocktails, and delicious bites. Proceeds support the Armory Art Center, while exhibition sales benefit participating artists. SHOP, SIP AND THROWDOWN!
Grab your friends, raise a glass, and pARTy with us!
