Finding time to finish or even start your creative pursuits is challenging. Between work and life, when can we find the time and space to make art? Welcome to the Bad Artists Club, a place where we can make art and friends through our monthly meet-ups and workshops! No matter your experience, ability, or craft - we're here for it! We're on a mission to create accessible and consistent spaces for creativity. Welcome!
Our monthly meet-ups are every other Wednesday 5-7p.
May 2025
Format:
10- 15min: welcome and creative prompt to get your juices flowing.
rest of the session: solo-time! Guide assistance is available whenever you need it.
This is a relaxed, open-studio session where you can work on your personal art projects in a supportive, creative environment. Bring your own supplies or you can rent provided materials. Some of these may including drawing tools like charcoal, pastels, or embroidery, and digital art resources. They may change week to week.
This is a consistent creative space for you to connect with fellow artists, explore new techniques, and enjoy the freedom to create at your own pace. Open to all experience levels.
Things to bring:
What is provided: We have a ton of materials that we're happy to lend you if you just want to show up!
We charge "pay what you can" for our meet-ups to keep our club running and for some art supplies. If you can't pay, all good! You are still part of the club :) Signing up ahead of time is preferred, but if you find youself feeling spontaneous, you can "pay" at the door!

How we define “women” is broad and open to change. We include cis-women and trans women, as well as gender-fluid and folks identifying on the femme-spectrum. A hetero cis-woman runs this organization and she fully recognizes she probably doesn’t know shit, but tries and hopes you appreciate that <3 Always learning, and always listening!
We are currently based out of so called Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Besides everything else happening at Bad Academy, our club is focused on establishing regular consistent meet-ups at the moment with workshops sprinkled throughout the year! Eventually we'd love to have showcases, exhibits, art markets, and festivals! We are slowly building our community and hope you can join us!
