Bad Art by Good People
Bad Art by Good People: Final Showcase & Cocktail Party
Thursday, October 2 | 6:00–8:00 PM
Join us for an unforgettable evening of creativity, community, and celebration at the Bad Art by Good People finale! This one-of-a-kind cocktail party brings together local public figures, artist mentors, and art lovers for the grand reveal of this year’s collaborative “masterpieces.”
Enjoy drinks, light bites, and lively conversation as we showcase the final artworks created by 6–10 community participants and their artist partners. Each piece will be auctioned to benefit the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art, and the winning team—based on community votes—will be announced live at the event.
Admission is free for all participants and one guest, including two drink tickets. Friends, family, and the public are warmly invited to attend and support their favorite team. Cast your final votes, bid on your favorite works, and help us celebrate the power of creativity—no matter how “bad” the art may be!
