Twelfth Annual Throwdown Application OPEN NOW

Applications for the Twelfth Annual Throwdown are OFFICIALLY OPEN!

The Throwdown is the Mobile Arts Council’s largest annual fundraising event. Proceeds go towards supporting our mission: to enrich the quality of life in the greater Mobile area through increasing accessibility to the arts and promoting a vibrant cultural community.

For the past twelve years, local artists have sought out to compete in this unique live art competition. The event features ­five competitors that have 90 minutes to create original works of art from a shared supply table and a mystery box. Attendees watch art in action and have the opportunity to take these pieces home by participating in a live auction at the end of the night. Additionally, the 11th Annual Throwdown champion, Brian Tan, will compete to defend his title. This year’s event will take place at Alabama Contemporary Art Center on September 26th, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Interested in competing in this year’s competition? Sign up here by June 24th!
