In December, our fantastic Bad Art Games Night for children was an incredible success, drawing a lively and well-attended crowd. The air buzzed with laughter and creativity as kids unleashed their artistic flair in unconventional ways.
A heartfelt thank you to the brilliant Kate McGaw, whose enthusiasm and dedication brought this event to life. Here’s to Kate and the young artists who made our Bad Art Games Night an unforgettable celebration of creativity and community.
Over a dozen children gathered at our congregation to have fun with the idea of Bad Art.
We laughed a lot, and discussed how there really is no such thing as “bad art,” but there might be art that is poorly constructed or in poor taste. Austen Petersen penned a chalice lighting that we wanted to share with the entire congregation. Some of you may even know the hand motions to the first line.
We are the Unitarian Universalists of the open minds, the loving hearts, and the helping hands.
Sometimes bad art can be meaningful.
We want you to know that your adults have time for you and believe your art is important, and things you create are of value even if you think they aren’t.
The children and teens had a lot of fun, and we ended the evening by creating a small gallery walk to celebrate all the art that we created together.
