Everyone's an artist.
Bad Art Club is a space for people to genuinely connect with themselves and others through the process of creating “bad” art together, without any screens, substances, or fear of judgment. By allowing ourselves to be bad, we reclaim so much of the energy that we spend day to day trying to be good, and we can repurpose that energy to actually do good in the world.
“We imagine an authentic, creative, connected world where everyone feels free and safe to express themselves, and we are actively creating that world.”

David's Story
'Strangers Aren't That Scary'


Before I came I was a lonely serial doom scroller too avoidant to venture out. 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!
