Throwdown
Event Date: October 02,2025 6:00pm-9:00pm
Venue: MAC Gallery @ Room 1927
For 13 years, local artists have gone head-to-head in this high-energy live art competition. Five artists. Ninety minutes. One shared supply table and a surprise mystery box. It's fast, creative, and a thrill to watch. At the end of the night, attendees can bid on these freshly made masterpieces in a live auction, hosted by director, actor, and writer Japonica Brown at The National Maritime Museum of the Gulf Coast. This year, we're throwing it back in honor of MAC's 70th anniversary with a special retro-bution edition of The Throwdown! Past competitors are returning for another shot at victory, and we can't wait to see what they bring to the table. The night also includes a silent auction filled with locally made treasures, delicious bites, live music, spirits, and a special release brew from Braided River to keep the celebration going.
