Secret Walls’ Electrifying “Art of Competition” Live Paint Battles Landed in New York

Secret Walls Returns to NYC with Thrilling Live Art Battles

Matthew Kennedy

New York, NY - Gone are the days of passive art viewing in a staid museum or white box gallery or online. Secret Walls’ “The Art Of Competition” is taking the country by storm, putting fans and artists together in rooms in multiple cities across the U.S. to watch creativity unfold in real time. 

On October 26th, “The Art of Competition” returned to the Big Apple after a few years' absence. Secret Walls was thrilled to host the competition at the No One Home venue, co-founded by ex US soccer player Kyle Martino, with the addition of their art education platform, the SW Academy.

“The Art of Competition” Tour promises to be an electrifying, adrenaline-filled interactive rush of creative spirit. Come watch, cheer, and participate in the exciting paint battles touring the country. See the art being made, feel the pressure of the clock ticking down and the live competition pushing each other further, vote for the winning team and witness the limitless bounds of creativity.

Starring Jason Naylor, Lamour Supreme, Ross Pino and Jappy Agoncillo, the New York-based artists were divided into teams and provided POSCA paint markers, paint brushes, spray paint, and paint rollers to showcase their work against a giant wall as their canvas. With only 90 minutes to ideate and complete their piece, the teams faced-off against each other in a frantic adrenaline rush energized by the cheers of the crowds and fueled by Monster Energy Ultra. Special guest judges — and a decibel meter measuring audience reaction — helped to determine the winner of each battle. Jappy and Lamour beat out Jason and Ross on the night!

All of this action was hosted by Che Anderson, supported by live sounds from amazing local DJ Gianni Lee, and was accompanied by exciting interactive brand experiences provided by tour partners Monster Energy Ultra, POSCA Paint Markers, Rabble Wines, and more.

Finished Work

Also be sure to keep a lookout for unique pop-up tour experiences - like a special Secret Walls Academy sessions - all over the country.  

The epic “Art of Competition” tour is not to be missed. It is never the same experience twice, you are guaranteed a unique, exciting, electrifying rush of creativity!
