Come to the library on January 30 for BAD ART DAY! We'll have an 11 a.m. session and a 2 p.m. session with 10 seats available in each.
What is Bad Art Day?
Bad Art Day is a fun, low-pressure event where children make intentionally terrible art to overcome perfectionism, embrace silliness, and enjoy the creative process without judgment. It's about the joy of creating and releasing creative blocks, proving that mistakes are okay and everyone can be an "artist".
We'll give prompts to our artists such as who can create the worst of the worst! At the end of each session, we'll award prizes to the best bad art.
Advanced registration is required, and you may do so by contacting the library at danvers.tl.rsa@gmail.com or 309-963-4269. There is no charge for this event.
