SUMMARY:The Royal Art Throwdown – Round 1
DESCRIPTION:Welcome back to ‘The Royal Art Throwdown’ for our third season. After the fantastic success that we had the last two years with so many incredible artists on the stage and packed houses every night it was an easy decision to bring the Throwdown back for another winter.\nRound 1 will be kicking off with a whole lot of Artists\, new donations and sponsors. This year however I have a new host joining me on stage in the fantastic @pallomacallo\nIf you didn’t catch a Throwdown last year this is how it plays out.\nTwo heats of three artists will take to the stage throughout the night and will have one hour to create their masterpiece. They will have the options of using a canvas provided but really its pretty open forum for whatever they want to create. After the hour is up\, you (the crowd) will judge your favorite and the winner will go through to the grand final in March for some major prizes.\nRaffle tickets will be available for purchase with your chance to win the art pieces created on the night with all money raised going straight to the artists.\nThere will also be some interactive fun and your favorite DJ – Mr Paradise spinning some phat beats.\nIt’s fun\, it’s silly and it’s out right incredible watching the artists do their thing so get around it. No table bookings so if you want a seat get there early. It will be busy. \nOur artists for Round 1 will be………\nReiko Jansen\nPNut gallery\nJonathan Ramos\nSien Verschueren\nSamantha Strachan\nJack Mumford \nThanks to our sponsors and donors\nNelson Kootenay Lake Tourism Paradise Painters\nThe Royal\nRipping Giraffe\nUrban Legends\nBuddys Place \nBig ups Nelly\nCatcha at the Throwdown.\nxx Mr Paradise
