Join us on a creative quest to enjoy some hands-on fun.

Do you have a burning passion for art but the raw talent of a caffeinated raccoon with a glue stick? PERFECT.

That’s exactly the kind of chaotic energy we are looking for at Bad Art Bash—the only event where lack of skill is a requirement, and glitter-based crimes are strongly encouraged.

Armed with a mess of pipe cleaners, googly eyes, broken buttons, popsicle sticks, and a suspicious amount of pom-poms, brave participants can dive headfirst into our bottomless pit of crafting supplies.

The goal? To create the most gloriously terrible, truly unforgettable (not in a good way) bad piece of art imaginable.

Please register using your child's name only. Parents or guardians who use their library card to register can change the name of the registrant to the child and the card will remain linked.

Adult accompaniment is required for children under 8 years.
