Live speed painting for your event

Mark Thesken is a speed painter who transforms a blank canvas into a finished sports portrait in as little as five to ten minutes — live, in front of your audience. His performances have anchored corporate hospitality suites, charity galas, athlete appearances, and private celebrations across the country.

The format is electric: a crowd gathers, music sets the tone, and Mark works at a pace that keeps every eye in the room. By the time the last beat drops, a finished piece is on stage — ready to be signed by an athlete on the spot, auctioned for charity, or presented as the centerpiece of the night.

Whether you're planning a foundation fundraiser, a brand activation, or a VIP reception, Mark's live art creates the kind of moment people talk about long after the event ends. We handle the logistics, the artist coordination, and — when needed — athlete signing on the night, so all you handle is the applause.
