The Art Fusion Experiment - Live at the Main Stage everyday!

The Art Fusion Experiment brought to you by Paul Booth, Filip Leu, and Guy Aitchison. This performance art involves between 3 to 5 artists collaborating, changing canvases every 3 to 5 minutes, and completing pieces of art done in charcoal, color pastels, or other mediums. At the main stage everyday! 

The Art Fusion Experiment will be held at the Hell City Tattoo Festival on the HC Second Stage periodically throughout the entire weekend. This event is a definite crowd pleaser and shouldn’t be missed!

There will also be a silent auction for all the completed work. You must be present at the end of the auction to receive the artwork or it will go to the next bidder. Be sure to check out The Art Fusion Experiment Website to see more on the history and process of this amazing collaborative art project!
