Paint dries quickly here. Art Battle Bangkok turns making art into a public sport, with artists racing the clock and the audience watching every decision unfold. Each round allows just 20 minutes, enough time for instincts to take over and nerves to show. Viewers wander between easels, close enough to see mistakes corrected and ideas shift in real time, then vote to decide who moves forward. Three rounds keep the pace sharp and the mood competitive without losing its warmth. Every finished work heads straight to auction, blurring the line between spectacle and support for the artists involved. You can turn up simply to watch or apply to paint yourself, joining a community that values risk over polish. Open to all ages, the event connects Bangkok to a global series staged across more than 50 cities worldwide.
February 1. B99-350 via here and B450 at the door. The Fig Lobby Bangkok, 7pm
