What a night. What an energy. What a turnout.

Art Wars 2026 – Valentine’s Day Edition was unforgettable. ❤️🎨🔥

First, THANK YOU to every single artist who stepped into that arena and painted their heart out. The creativity, the vulnerability, the risk-taking — that’s what makes Art Wars what it is. You showed up, you created live, and you gave Lake Worth Beach something special.

And now… CONGRATULATIONS to our 2026 winners:

✨ Valentina Morales
✨ Melissa Mastrangelo
✨ Allison Ragle

You earned it. The votes are in, and the community spoke! These three incredible artists will now move forward to create public art for the City of Lake Worth Beach — and you’ll be seeing their completed works hanging in a venue near you very soon. Announcement coming shortly!

To everyone who came out, voted, danced, supported, bought merch, took photos, shared posts, and celebrated local art — thank you. Every ticket, every cheer, every post helps elevate these artists and keeps this creative community thriving.

As curator, I’m beyond grateful for the love and support. Art Wars continues to grow because of YOU.

Lake Worth Beach showed up.
The artists delivered.
And Art Wars 2026 made its mark.

See you next year.
