Palm View - Study Room A (Max 12 People)

Whether you think you’re an artist or absolutely not, come make messy, silly art, laugh with friends, and vote on the best ‘worst’ creations.

Get ready to celebrate the wonderfully weird at In-B-Tween Club’s Bad Art Night! Whether you think you’re an artist or absolutely not, this event is all about embracing the messy, the silly, and the gloriously imperfect. We’ll provide the supplies so you can create your most spectacularly terrible masterpieces before displaying them in our totally serious (but not really) “Bad Art Exhibition,” where we’ll vote on the best “worst” creations. It’s a fun, low-pressure space to laugh, craft, make friends, and enjoy a night where the goal is to be delightfully bad at art!

AGE GROUP: | Teens (11-18) | Children (0-11) |
