After the announcement of the Oktoberfest Forum Challenge winners, it was originally thought that these paintings would only be available during the month of November 2010. [2] However the paintings have made a return in December 2010 and can be assumed to be a fixture at the festivals until announced otherwise.
They will cost 10 City Tokens each.

They could go away at some point, I suppose, but for now they are planning to leave them be as the festival travels." [4]
