Toronto, ON, July 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On July 20, a group of 12 Art Battle Canada finalists took part in a live art competition held at the Liberty Grand Governor’s Ballroom in Toronto. Each competing artist raced against the clock for audience votes on their canvas art, with both in-person and online viewers working together to determine the winner.
Ahead of Wednesday’s event, five of the artists each used a Porsche Taycan as their canvas to create art displays for the occasion. These individuals were Katrina Canedo, Enrique Bravo, Moumita Roychowdhury, Dimitri Sirenko, and Allan André.
