[Sorry guys, I just found out this event has been postponed to January 29th.]
Megan Kelley and Open Lot Nashville (home of the Circuit Benders’ Ball) are putting on an extremely innovative art experiment tonight January 29th. Watch as teams create improvised art right in front of your eyes! The portion open to audiences starts at 8pm. Winners will be picked at 9pm. Here’s part of the press release:

For our first episode, we’re asking you to compile a team of your favorite area artists and friends and compete to create a temporary installation worthy of Angus MacGyver himself. Provided with an array of mystery surprise supplies, armed to the teeth with practical artistic knowledge, and cheered on to Art Or Death victory by crowds and judges, each team will rely on their own resourcefulness and theme music in an effort to wrest away The Winning Title!
