This is not a day out to a genteel Amsterdam art gallery! Art Battle is a high-octane, exciting live art show where you, the audience, get to crown the eventual champion.

Art Battle Amsterdam

Be a part of the electrifying energy at Art Battle as skilled artists engage in a high-speed showdown, flinging paint with every stroke. With just 20 minutes to create a masterpiece, the pressure is on! The audience casts their vote for their favourites in each round, see who is the winner by the end of the evening.

Not only can you enjoy watching incredible artists create amazing paintings before your very eyes, but you also have the chance to end up owning one! Each work created during the night will be sold via a silent auction. So if one piece really catches your eye, put in a bid - you never know, you might be taking it home with you!

If you don't get the piece you were hoping for, you might want to check out the Affordable Art Fair Amsterdam, which is happening just a few days later in the city.

Art Battle Amsterdam at Pllek

Art Battle Amsterdam takes place at Pllek, a waterfront restaurant in Amsterdam Noord that always hosts a wide selection of events, from yoga to outdoor cinema to dance nights, not to mention their amazing Sunday activities for kids.

It's a 5-minute walk from the NDSM ferry wharf, which connects it straight to Amsterdam's central train station, so arriving by public transport is easy, even if you're coming from other Dutch cities. 

Be a part of the fun as a spectator and buy your tickets from the Pllek website. Don't forget to also register online if you want to vote on the artwork!
