Art Battle, "Manchester's best kept secret", stages A Night Of High Drama in the Royal Exchange Theatre on Sunday May 6.
This latest Art Battle sees a number of local artists from painters, street artists, tattooists and illustrators take centre-stage in a one-off event.
Hosted by broadcaster and DJ Hattie Pearson, it will mix up new artists with DJs, art exhibitions, street food, a licensed bar and "all manner of unexpected shenanigans".
