Over the weekend, Chantal and I had the pleasure of heading downtown to check out the Art vs. Art Paint Day - an annual event put on by local non-profit Primary Colours. Every year, local Indy artists pay $10 to create original paintings to enter into the Art vs. Art competition, where the artist with the winning painting receives $2500.

The Paint Day is just the first leg of the event where the masterpieces are created. All of the paintings have been photographed and are now posted anonymously at www.IndyMojo.com for online voting. IndyMojo is a super-cool new client of ours by the way, so check out the site if you're from the Indy area.

The top 32 paintings (including the top paintings from Cincy, Columbus and Louisville, who also participated) win a spot to the Main Art vs. Art event, held at the Fountain Square Theatre on Sept. 7. Here, attendees have a chance to vote for their favorite paintings, and the top 16 then go head to head. The only way a losing painting can be saved from sudden death is if someone bids on it for cash. If not, paintings meet their fate on the "Wheel of Death," where they can die by fire, acid bath, chainsaw, or any other number of ugly endings.

The event drew more than 800 people last year so we can't wait to attend! If you want more info, head on over to IndyMojo for more details and to cast your vote.
