Houston "Bad Art Night"

posted November 2, 2011 1:19 PM

Proposed: a night that's kind of like an art "potluck." Bring your arty or crafty project and materials. Prepared to share. Once gathered, we engage in an excellent form of parallel play. Conversation ensues. Called "Bad Art Night" to 1) take the pressure off of trying to be "productive." 2) create permission to try new things and just play around and finally 3) lower the bar for entry -- no artistic talent required.

Interesting idea. Did you have a location in mind, or would we just take over a coffee shop?

I might be game for it!

Dunno, I would assume we could just take over a coffee shop. Coffee Oasis down Seabrook way has a dedicated conference room we could reserve, but that's not very central (albeit very convenient to me.)

I have a friend who would be interested, too.

I like that word "potluck". Might be interesting if everyone also brought food to share. Not sure if a coffee shop would allow that though. Or if others would want to do that.
