You'll get an email a month with what's coming up. That's the whole spiel.
now the part most clubs don't tell you
We're all going through something.
Big life transitions. Recovery. Grief. Identity. Being a human.
People show up to Bad Art Club because someone else made it possible for them to, and that person is a patron.
Patrons allow us to bring healing arts to people in recovery from addiction, incarceration and natural disaster. They cover the supplies, pay our facilitators a real wage, and make sure no one is ever turned away for lack of funds.
Proudly fiscally sponsored by
Independent Arts & Media is a San Francisco nonprofit that, since 2000, has stewarded and empowered independent art and media projects that foster community, civic participation, cultural engagement, and free expression. To date they've supported hundreds of affiliate projects that have collectively raised more than $30 million.
Bad Art Club is proudly one of those affiliates. Operating under IAM's 501(c)(3) nonprofit status means your donations to Bad Art Club are tax-deductible, and we're eligible for grants, funding, and sponsorships that aren't available to unincorporated groups. That means every contribution goes further in keeping our events radically accessible.
what your $25 actually does
Sustains one person in recovery for a full month, providing them with supplies, art sessions, and a community that cares.
Give monthly, or give once. Give any amount, any cadence. We appreciate all of it.
