ART WAR™ @ HERKIMER COLLEGE RECAP

A Night of Chaos, Color, and Collaboration!

Our very first team-based ART WAR™ hit the stage at Herkimer College—and it was nothing short of legendary.

Eight student artists battled across seven wild rounds using graphite, markers, food-based dyes, finger paint, and acrylic. From live model sketch-offs to full-blown food fights and the ultimate canvas heist, the night was a nonstop creative throwdown. But in true Art War fashion, it wasn’t about winners or losers—it was about the process, the energy, and what we can create when we work together.

In the final round, the battlefield turned collaborative, as both teams united to fuse their canvases into one final masterpiece. What started as a showdown ended as a celebration of connection, courage, and collaborative-made art.

Huge thanks to Herkimer College, the Art Club, Vicki Brown, and Justin Como for partnering with us on this unforgettable event.

Shoutout to our sponsors—Golden Artist Colors, Stewart’s, Ace Hardware, Pohlig’s, and Paradise Eatery—for fueling the war and keeping us looking fresh.

And big love to MC Mike Cecconi and DJ Mitch (SST Media) for bringing the hype and holding it down all night long.
