The Loft - Teen Center

You don’t have to be talented to make art. Come create something ugly with us!

Artificial intelligence doesn't have a monopoly on bad art! 

We invite teens to fight back against AI slop and take a stand for humanity by creating a collage, portrait, or sculpture during our Bad Art Night. 

We'll provide all the materials you'll need for a low-stakes immersive art experience. You may even surprise yourself and create something beautiful. 

For more information, contact Jenna at jjones@nlrlibrary.org.
