What we’re about
The Brisbane Bad Art Group has an overarching goal of bringing people together through creativity and self expression, regardless of skill level. We are more focused on visual arts like drawing and painting.
I believe that creativity has the power to enhance wellbeing and overall quality of life for anyone with the courage to let it into their life. This group is a safe space to explore how this looks for you without all of the pressure to necessarily make a masterpiece.

At Bad Art Group, the focus isn't on making good art — it's about caring less about the outcome and more about what the process brings up. We believe that creativity thrives when you let go of expectations and just show up as you are.

Connect and Create - Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens
Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens, 152 Mt Coot-Tha, Toowong QLD 4066, Australia, Brisbane, AUJoin us for a casual weekly meetup at the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens.
An opportunity to create out in nature in the company of the beautiful Brisbane creative community. Bring your own project (I like to do free-drawing out in nature),
There’s no agenda, no facilitation — just a chance to connect with others and make art side by side. And most importantly, there is no expectation that you be 'good' at art/drawing either.🗓 Wednesdays, 9am-11:30am (check events for available dates)
