Secret Walls returns for 2024 with another tour of ‘battle art’
LA-based arts and entertainment brand, Secret Walls, has announced its second North American tour, “The Art of Competition,” launching fall of 2024 and sponsored by Posca + Monster Energy Ultra.
Coming off the success of Secret Walls’ first tour, “Support Your Local Artist,” top artists will once again go head-to-head in front of a live audience as they battle for the winner’s crown. This year, each battle also features surprise musical performances, DJs, limited-edition merch, workshops, and more.
How it works: artists are divided into teams and provided Posca paint markers, paint brushes, spray paint, and paint rollers to showcase their work against a giant wall canvas. With only 90 minutes to ideate and complete their piece, the teams compete against each other in a frantic adrenaline rush energized by the cheers of the crowds and fueled by Monster Energy Ultra. The judges — and a decibel meter measuring audience reaction — help determine the winner of each battle.
At the event, attendees were treated to an interactive evening with guest artists Dreyfus, Upendo, Mr. B Baby, Ezra Brown, Wotto and sounds by DJ Rareform. Guests experienced live art as they entered the Secret Walls venue and were treated with food, gifts and libations by Monster Energy Ultra. The action-packed evening also included a Q&A hosted by Secret Walls podcaster and content creator Nick Major.
“The Art of Competition” will create deeper connections with the local art scenes through workshops, artist dinners, meet and greets, and more. “The Art of Competition” embodies the spirit of creative contests that makes Secret Walls such a sought-after experience, while championing their mission to reintegrate art into global sports platforms. In addition, Secret Walls will also host its “Secret Walls Academy” workshops in select cities, giving attendees a chance to bone up on their illustration techniques while learning about the history and impact of art on pop culture.
