Artists and audiences will gather for an
unforgettable night of creativity, competition, and community
sponsored by Sharpie Creative Markers
ATLANTA, Aug. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On Saturday, Aug. 24, Sharpie®, part of the Newell
Brands global portfolio, is sponsoring Art Battle® at a
flagship Los Angeles event. The creativity-fueled evening will
feature three rounds of live art competition. Armed with an arsenal
of Sharpie products, including the New Sharpie Creative Markers,
and Art Battle paint, top LA and national artists will step to
their easels to compete against the clock for audience votes,
prizes, and the title of Champion.
"Sharpie Creative Markers unleash a new way to create at Art
Battle by popping with bold color on nearly any surface," said Gina
Lázaro, Vice President, Brand
Management, Writing at Newell Brands. "These paint-like
acrylic markers give artists in this competition the opportunity to
freely express themselves using tools that can turn any canvas into
a work of art."
"The New Sharpie Creative Marker is a phenomenal tool for our
artists as they create live," shared Simon
Plashkes, Co-Founder at Art Battle. "The bullet tip is way
ahead of the competition, and the brush tip is like nothing we have
seen before - it truly empowers an entirely new array of strategies
in time-limited competition."
Art Battle attendees and artists can visit the Sharpie Bus, a
creativity hub on wheels built to commemorate the brand's 60th
anniversary and inspire future artists across the country. There,
fans can learn more about the iconic brand history and test out the
12 vivid colors and paint-like ink in the New Sharpie Creative
Markers themselves.
Through the end of the year, the Sharpie Bus will stop at some
of the most creative events and festivals across the U.S. including
Art Battle LA as the latest stop on "The World Is Your Canvas"
Tour. Follow along with the Sharpie Bus journey by visiting
