North Shore Bank is thrilled to announce our partnership with Discover Wauwatosa as the presenting sponsor of ART 64, a bracket-style live painting tournament for $20,000 that will take place on June 7-8, 2024 in the Village of Wauwatosa. This is the third year that 64 artists from across the country will come together to compete for the grand prize! 

“We’re thrilled to sponsor and lend our support for ART 64 in Wauwatosa. This incredible event which draws people from all over is fast becoming one of Wauwatosa’s treasured annual outings,” says Mike Williams, Community Engagement Manager for North Shore Bank. “Having just celebrated our 100th anniversary year, we are proud to continue supporting the wonderful things taking place in our communities, and we encourage everyone to come out and experience live art and the many fun activities available for attendees of all ages during ART 64.”

During the competition, people are invited to watch the paintings come to life and vote for their favorite ones online. The artist in each pairing with the most votes advances to the next round. There will be three rounds total, with the final sixteen artists competing for a $20,000 grand prize. 

The 2023 ART 64 event saw over 8,000 visitors in The Village of Wauwatosa, thousands of votes cast for artists, and over 100 tournament paintings sold. The event also includes family-friendly activities, live music, food and drinks, and shopping from local small businesses.

Mark your calendars for June 7-8th; we can’t wait to see you there!
