About This Event

Communal: BAD ART NIGHT is scheduled for 19 November 2026 at Aspex Portsmouth. This event encourages participants to reconnect with their creativity and enjoy the process of making art without expectations.

Communal: BAD ART NIGHT invites you to reconnect with your creativity, let go of expectations and embrace the joy of making.

Join artist and creative Holly McLachlan for BAD ART NIGHT, a playful workshop where the aim is to make the worst art imaginable!

Forget about getting it right, creating something beautiful or worrying about what others might think. Instead, challenge yourself and others to make the most wonderfully terrible art possible. Through playful experimentation, laughter and shared creativity, you’ll have the chance to let go of perfectionism, try something new and rediscover the fun of creating simply for the sake of it.

Whether you consider yourself an artist or haven’t picked up a pencil in years, everyone is welcome to get involved. No pressure, no expectations, just bad art, good company and a chance to connect with others through creativity.

Booking

This workshop is free to attend and is for adults aged 18 and over.

Places are limited to 16 participants and advance booking is essential.

No previous art experience is needed.
