On Friday Night, March 8, 2019, the “Greatest Live Art Competition in the Known Universe”, Super Art Fight, returns to the Nation’s Capital for an evening of live art entertainment unlike any other.
Returning live to the Black Cat for the first time in nearly two years, Super Art Fight will present their trademark “art fights”, a mixture of live art competition a’la Pictionary, combined with the bravado, character work, and (of course) tight pants of Professional Wrestling!
Founded in 2008, Super Art Fight has performed all across the United States, and even into Canada, and on March 8th, they bring a brand new event to the Black Cat stage – the GOLDEN GAUNTLET, a 5 artist, 4 match competition. Two artists will start, the winner stays on, and the battle continues until the last artist is eliminated in this crazy and unpredictable matchup.
To the winner will go the spoils, a ‘Golden Opportunity’ Marker, allowing the victor a Super Art Fight Championship opportunity at the show of their choosing.
The Super Art Fight roster is made up of average work-a-day artists, graphic designers, painters, illustrators and tattoo artists, who each have created crazy rock-star-esq personas, such as the anime-themed magical girl Shoujo-A-Go-Go, the European fashionista Baron Von Sexyful, the face painted dictator General Stormsketch, or the punk rock brawler, Killer Colleen. The audience is encouraged to cheer their favorites to victory – in fact, it’s necessary, as the artist with the most cheers at the end of each booth picks the winner.
Come see for yourself, live and in person what Super Art Fight is all about.

The non-profit’s major charity poker tournament and taste experience has historically raised over $4.2 million to directly support those on the forefront of local cancer research and care.
