Art battle slated for Saturday

Oct 19, 2011

Local artist Fabian "Occasional Superstar" Williams will host his 5th “World Wide Arts Federation Presents -- The Studious Study Of Stuntin': An Artist Battle and Art Battle” on Saturday.

Billed as a “ball” and a “battle,” Williams, as he has done in the past, gathers leading local and national artists and pits them against each other in a round-robin, pro wrestling-style battle of styles and artistic mediums. Williams, will host the event -- which will include music -- with fellow artist Fahamu Pecou.

The battle will be held Saturday from 6 p.m. until midnight at 431 Fair Street in Atlanta.
