Art Fight

BPL Makerspace presents... Art Fight!

Welcome to the BPL Art Fight page where you'll learn all about Art Fight, how to participate, and how to art alongside local artists. 

What is Art Fight?

Art Fight is an annual art game that lasts for 1 month, beginning every July. During the event users can register on the site to join in. Each year, participants are split into two themed teams to which they are assigned randomly.

Players "attack" people of the opposing team by making art of original characters you choose belonging to members of the other team. You are free to use almost any visual art form! (See Attack Rules section of the rules). Your team receives points based on what you create for the other team with each attack.   

The artist that receives the attack can then counter that attack by drawing the character belonging to the person who attacked them, or pay it forward by attacking a different person on the other team. 

♕ At the end of the month, the team with the greater score wins. But remember, while there are point scores, the real goal is to celebrate characters with your fellow artists. Art Fight is about giving and receiving amazing art. ♥

How is BPL participating?

Makerspace Access and Drop-ins!

Community!

Prizes!

Showcase!

First thing's first: All participants who want to use the Makerspace must take Makerspace 101. Good news! We're including this prerequisite in our in-person Art Fight 101. Find Art Fight 101 classes on our Events page. 

If you've already taken Makerspace 101, you can still attend Art Fight 101 in person or view Art Fight 101 online (coming soon). If you watch Art Fight 101 online and have not taken Makerspace 101, you still have to take Makerspace 101. 

Now to the fun stuff...

Makerspace Resources and Drop-Ins

The Makerspace is here for your Making needs! Whatever your medium, we might be able to provide tools, equipment, and space, but we also often have creatives in the room to help problem solve (be careful about not infringing on collaboration rules, though).
