For our monthly Artwalk event, we hosted Art Battle International, a grassroots painting competition that travels to select cities around the globe.

Our studio space made for the perfect venue as there was ample room to set up a painting ring for the competition. Spectators gathered and the artistry commenced. We opened up both of our bars in Studio A and Brew Next Door to cater to the guests and artists. The first Art Battle event was hosted during FATVillage Artwalk due to the increased foot traffic and the attention to local art.

Art Battle has been back time and again to utilize our studio space after this very successful first night of competition. We’ve continued to promote their event via email marketing and filmed this artist showcase for future promotions. 

Hosting events like Art Battle at our studio is a natural extension of C&I Studios’ commitment to the local creative community. Our space in Fort Lauderdale’s FAT Village Arts District was purpose-built for productions and gatherings of all kinds, making it an ideal venue for live competitions, gallery nights, and cultural programming. For this event, our team handled everything from video production and coverage to bar service and event logistics. Capturing the energy of a live painting competition demands quick, responsive camera work and an understanding of how to document spontaneous creativity without getting in the way. The footage we produced serves as both a record of the evening and a promotional asset Art Battle can use across their marketing channels. Whether you are planning a brand activation, community event, or creative showcase, our studio and production team can help bring it to life. Explore more of our event work in our portfolio.
