Canvas Clash Sponsorship

Be Part of the Showdown!
What is Canvas Clash?
Canvas Clash is Durham’s ultimate live art competition. Imagine 12 fearless artists, 3 fast-paced rounds, and only 20 minutes per round to create a masterpiece. The crowd votes and one champion takes home the prize.
Maybe you joined us last year when the room was buzzing at 21c, or caught our August Third Friday pop-up battle at CCB Plaza. This is Durham’s chance to see incredible talent in action, to be part of the creative process, and to celebrate the vibrant visual arts community that makes our city unique.
Best of all, it’s a fundraiser for the Durham Art Guild, directly supporting local artists and programs.
