For four years now, the crazed team of combative artists at Super Art Fight have been putting together shows all over the United States.

On Saturday Afternoon, May 19th, 2012, The Greatest Live Art Competition will put on a show unlike any they’ve done before, and it’s going to be for a great cause.

Super Art Fight is proud to present Super Art Fest, a 12 hour marathon event taking place at the Metro Gallery in Baltimore, Maryland to benefit the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults.

Going from 12 Noon on Saturday until 12 Midnight early Sunday, the team at Super Art Fight has pieced together an event that is sure to go down in history. Over the course of the 12 hours, you will see:

*A selection of their trademark Art Fights, pitting members of the full time Super Art Fight roster in one on one battles best described as a mixture of Pictionary and Pro Wrestling
*The 2012 Super Art Fight IDOL tournament, pitting Eight Art Fight roster hopefuls in an epic tournament to gain a slot in the SAF locker room
*Live music and comedy, including a performance from fast-rising nerdcore rapper Adam WarRock
*And other surprises to delight the audience!

All proceeds raised from guest donations, live auctions, Internet donations and more will be going directly to benefit the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults. Admission to the event is free, and the show will be open to guests of all ages starting at Noon.

The Metro Gallery is located at 1700 North Charles Street Baltimore, MD 21201. For those who cannot see the show live and in person, Super Art Fight will be broadcasting all 12 hours live on the web, at http://www.SuperArtFight.com/.
