Fremont's Blank Canvas announces the Artist Throwdown and Charity Auction in Support of Art With Heart.
In unison with The Fremont Fair and Solstice Parade, Blank Canvas announces their Artist Throwdown and Charity Auction, a benefit for Art with Heart. The Artist Throwdown and Charity Auction will include a series of events throughout the day and will take place June 19th. The first event will be the Artist Throwdown – where teams made up of local artists and “non-artists” perform spontaneous and collaborative paintings with music from Seattle’s DJ Eva and team - from 10am to 2pm at the TPN Building (N 35th ST between Phinney and 1st Ave NW). The paintings created at the event will be auctioned off at the Fremont Fair later that day. Auction details and locations will be provided at the Artist Throwdown.
Thanks to our partnerships with Group West Companies and Sessions Premium Lager.

We are calling on you to join us and throw yourself into an act of full self-expression through painting and teamwork to benefit the charity Art with Heart. Teams of 5-8 people will come together from around the city to create one-of-kind pieces. Each team will get one 4' X 4' blank canvas and general painting supplies.

At the end of the day we celebrate our innovations with an after party and live auction.

About Us
Kristen Young and a team of creative individuals founded Blank Canvas Non Profit in 2006. The first Blank Canvas Artist Throwdown was originally organized as a way to engage the interior design and architectural communities in an act of collaborative and spontaneous creative expression with an opportunity to raise funds and support local charities. The popularity of these events over the years has led Kristen Young and Blank Canvas to expand beyond their original mission and open the doors to create a collaborative design studio space in the heart of Fremont.
