Art Throwdown, Armory Art Center

Artistry 2026

The Amory’s ART THROWDOWN is Iron Chef but for artists and guests. This event is part performance, part art sale, and it will be Palm Beach’s liveliest fun-raising party events of the year. Guests will mix and mingle while enjoying the Throwdown competition and our faculty and student art exhibition and sale. The action and artwork will inspire you and if you aren’t already, turn you into an art collector or creator. Like any great party, there will be sips, music and bites.

The night’s main event is the ART THROWDOWN in which five artists go head-to-head challenging them to produce creative and compelling artwork within a strict 90-minute challenge. The competition involves a shared supply table, and a “mystery box” of unusual materials, forcing artists to be resourceful and innovative. The audience will mingle and watch the artists at work and participate by voting for the winner by applause before evening’s end. The winner will be recognized, and all throwdown artworks will then be auctioned off. Proceeds from this event will support the Armory Art Center. Sales from the art exhibition will be shared with the artists. The winning THROWDOWN artist will receive a solo exhibition in our gallery. This is a fun and lively way to support your community arts! Put your gown and tux away, grab your friends and pARTy with us!
