Cut Throat Creating Live Art Competition
Become part of the action during this entertaining and somewhat ‘dangerous' game. Artists must think quickly and act spontaneously, all while acting outside the box. Jason Piper, CtC 2018 Winner, will host the amazing local artists on a one hour artistic journey of creating the best abstract piece using line, colours and the odd ‘causality' along their way to creating their ‘masterpiece’. Watch their progress, show your support, and finally vote for your number #1 choice. This ‘dungeon and dragons' game of artistic expression will be accompanied by the amazing David Cheon on electric guitar. You won’t want to miss this!!
