BEAUTIFUL CONNECTIONS.
Bring people together at weddings, anniversaries, bridal showers, birthday parties and beyond with Bad Art Club.

Turns out a little playfulness is the best thing you can add to any gathering.
INTERACTIVE ART POP-UPS
We’ve Mastered the Meet Cue
Mutual Bad
Portrait Booth
Two guests enter a portal where they're each the artist and the subject. They create and exchange terrible portraits, laugh a lot, and emerge as friends.
*Starting at $99/hour
Messy Thread Machine
Guests weave colorful fabric strips over, under and through each other's hands. It’s messy, joyful, and somehow results in a beautiful tangle worth keeping.
*Starting at $149/hour
MUTUAL BAD
PORTRAIT BOOTH
The Experience
Drop into the present moment with a friend, old or new. Draw each other with one continuous stroke while keeping your eyes on the person, not the page.
What comes out is always bad, always surprising, and somehow always captures something real.
Guests exchange portraits through the mail slot and emerge with a tiny, joyful piece of bad art made just for them.
What’s Included
Handmade reinforced cardboard booth (2'×2' footprint) with dual-sided privacy panels, a face window, and a portrait exchange mail slot
Self-guided instruction sign so guests can jump in without any directions
Vibrant water-based acrylic paint markers
Mixed media paper and envelopes for safekeeping
Full-service delivery, setup, and pickup anywhere in the SF Bay Area
MESSY THREAD MACHINE
The Experience
Weave a beautiful mess together. Guests contribute a strand (or many) to a communal loom, hands moving over, under and around as the tapestry slowly takes shape over the course of the event. Set an intention before you weave and thread something personal into the collective piece. It's meditative, a little chaotic, and surprisingly connecting.
We bring the loom and an abundance of colorful reclaimed fabric strips. After the event, we tie off the loose ends and you receive a wall-hanging keepsake that's so bad, it's good.
What’s Included
Handmade wooden loom with adjustable height and angle, accessible for all ages and abilities
Loom strung on one or both sides depending on guest count, on a stable lightweight frame with locking wheels
Self-guided instruction sign so guests can jump in without any direction
Baskets of colorful reclaimed fabric strips
Full-service delivery, setup, and pickup anywhere in the SF Bay Area
