Create and share art with other teens—no skills required! Pass your piece around and see what weird and fun masterpiece you all create together.

Join us for Collaborative Bad Art Night, a relaxed and creative evening just for teens! Each participant will start a piece of art, then after a few minutes, pass it along for others to add their own touch. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s fun, laughter, and community. There’s no pressure to create a masterpiece, just a chance to connect with others through shared creativity. We'll also have an art-themed book display and info on other upcoming Summer Reading programs. Come make something wonderfully weird with us!
