Art Battle Boston

Join us on Thursday, July 16 for a night of live art, cold beer, and friendly competition at Dorchester Brewing Company.

We'll be taking over one of Boston's most unique venues—a sprawling brewery with multiple bars, rooftop views, great food, and home to the delightfully weird Museum of Bad Art. Come early, grab a drink, wander the museum, and settle in before the paint starts flying.

Twelve local artists step onto the stage with blank canvases and just 20 minutes to create a masterpiece on a blank canvas. Every brushstroke happens live while the crowd watches, cheers, and votes for their favorite painter. Three fast-paced rounds lead to one champion, and every original painting created during the night is auctioned before the evening ends!

Whether you're an artist, an art lover, or just looking for a Thursday night that's different from the usual brewery visit, Art Battle is equal parts competition, performance, and community. Every event is completely unique, and no one knows exactly what's going to happen once the timer starts.

Grab a beer. Explore the Museum of Bad Art. Cheer for your favorite artist. Take home an original painting.

We'll see you July 16.
