12/27/2021 5:30pm 12/27/2021 7:00pm Teen and Adult Bad Art Night Does your artistic vision lean towards wacky, tacky or outright batty? Then we want you! Or do you normally try to make "realistic" or "beautiful" art and feel like cutting loose instead? Pablo Picasso said that "art washes away the dust of everyday life". This art program uses that dust and a whole slew of other mediums to create intentionally terrible art in ICPL's first ever Bad Art Night. Join us in the Digital Media Lab for a combination of guided and open-ended activities that will get your creative juices flowing, allowing you to create a final, awful "masterpiece." Is art in the eye of the beholder? If it is, tonight we will have some very subjective beholders! Registration is not required, but it will give us an idea of supplies needed. As you can imagine, no experience is necessary. In fact, the less art experience, the better! Iowa City Public Library Iowa City Public Library America/Chicago public
