Battle on the Green

Other associated events included the 4th Annual Battle on the Green competition, which kicked off on Friday at 4:30 pm with five competitors painting head to head.

A theme for each battle round was drawn by a member of the Green River Arts Council and competitors had only 5 minutes to prepare.

After the 5 minutes of preparation, they had 30 minutes to create a work of art that was then judged by the community and a panel of judges.

The first theme was “City” and the championship theme was “Water”. The winner of the 4th Annual Battle on the Green was Mercedes Negrete.
