Tonight I am going to “Art Wars”, an art show created by my office-mate and friend Gwin. Gwin recently moved here from Indianapolis, and unsatisfied with the Colorado Springs art scene, she decided to get busy on her own. Art Wars is her second art show here in town. Basically, she got some sponsors and put together a collection of performance artists, poets, musicians and paintings. All will be on display tonight at 32 Bleu.

During the night, six paintings will be done on site, to be auctioned off at the end of the night. Any painting that is NOT auctioned off gets a spin on the Wheel of Death. The Wheel of Death will determine HOW that piece of art gets DESTROYED on stage…example methods of execution are chainsaw and axe.

Anyway, it is pretty cool because all the money she raises is going to a center that benefits disadvantaged kids by introducing them to the arts. So if you are in town, check it out starting at 6:30 PM!
