DAVID’S STORY
“Strangers Aren’t That Scary”
“Before I came I was a lonely serial doom scroller too avoidant to venture out. Maybe it was Covid Locked-In Syndrome, but besides work, I was a pretty dull boy.
Then I saw a flyer that made me quietly chuckle to myself. How ridiculous was it to intentionally make bad art? But I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I signed up and was welcomed warmly without fanfare or any hint of exclusivity, which immediately put me at ease.
We were invited to relax and engage without thinking, which helped me get out of my head. By the end, I was comfortably chatting with the others. Then, I heard someone say, "turns out strangers aren't that scary," which summed it all up perfectly.
Thank you, Bad Art Club!”

Bad Art Club is here to remind you…
You’re not alone in this mess
The Bad Art Teacher
It’s me Jules,
When people ask me if I’m an artist, I say “Of course I am, and so are you”. Creativity is built-in to being human. There’s no need to back it up with a portfolio.
Even if you don’t make anything you’d consider “art”, you’re still an artist, coloring reality as you interact with the world from moment to moment.
But, I have a confession to make. Until pretty recently, I did not believe I was creative. I thought that some people are artists and some are not…
So, what finally broke the spell?
One day I set out to make the worst drawing I could possibly make and just when it felt complete, I ruined it some more. I felt joyful, relieved and inspired. I got the message loud and clear:
People need to be making a lot more bad art, together!
Because the more imperfect we allow ourselves to be, the more generous we are with our unique gifts.
I’m so glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to make some truly terrible, outrageously beautiful art with you.
