End of Free BAC for 2025 <3

Starting in July, Bad Art Club will no longer be free due to the end of grant funding. In July we will transition back to a paid format.

  • June BAC is the last free class this year and will open for registration soon.

  • I will re-apply for grant funding for next year.

  • I am currently working with the ArtsCenter to figure out the price of BAC

Thank You for Making BAC Free for 6 Months

Thank you to Orange County Arts Commission for providing funding for 6 free classes of BAC. This funding allows over 100 students to access BAC for free, and pays both myself and 6 local guest artists.

Thank you to the Carrboro ArtsCenter and Eno Arts Mill for generously donating the classroom space, staff time, and registration systems for Bad Art Club: Free for All.
