Pickman's Apprentice began in 2012 and has become a highly competitive and exciting art competition! Some of the best Mythos artists have only 90 minutes to complete a Lovecraftian masterpiece of visual art based on a wacky combination of a setting and a Mythos monster! Come be a part of this interactive art race and watch the birth of madness spawn before your very eyes.

Each finished piece will be auctioned off during the remainder of the festival, with all the proceeds going to Hurricane Relief.
