What in the World is Bad Art, Good Folk?

Bad Art, Good Folk is a one-of-a-kind fundraiser where creativity and community collide! Here's how it works: we pair local community leaders with talented artists to create unique works of art.

But this isn't your average art competition! The goal isn't perfection - it's fun, laughter, and raising funds for a great cause. Once the masterpieces are complete, they're auctioned off during our Bad Art, Good Folk Gala. Every dollar raised helps support Preble Arts and our mission to make art accessible for everyone in our community.

And here's where you come in! You'll have the chance to vote for your favorite "Good Folk" during the event. The individual with the most votes and the team with the most votes take home an award (and bragging rights) from our gala!

Whether you're an art expert, a lover of competitions, or just here for the laughs, Bad Art, Good Folk proves that art doesn't have to be perfect to make an impact. It's about coming together, embracing imperfection, and making a difference - one brushstroke at a time.
