If you haven't been to a Bad Art night, then let us explain first: the idea is to make bad art, and bad art in the manner of a "great artist." Dale Chihuly, for example, was the subject of the very first Bad Art Night. This Bad Art Night introduces you to the work of Kara Walker. Walker is a contemporary artist whose subjects are primarily nightmarish Victorian style silhouettes depicting African slaves being violently subdued by their masters, lynchings, and fantastically racist scenes reminiscent of Gone with the Wind type romance novels. Of course, at Bad Art Night, things are a little more light-hearted. Come on down and make goof-ball black silhouettes on the theme of your choice. Remember, the only rule at Bad Art Night is that no good art is allowed! Permit parking restrictions are not enforced on Saturdays. This event runs from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
