Libraries Present Humorous Art Gallery Tour

 

Together with the Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library (Emporium) and S.W. Smith Memorial Public Library (Port Allegany), curators from the Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) will present a humorous art gallery tour titled "Living Through Tough Times: From Having a Bad Day to a Dystopian Apocalypse." As we endure a global pandemic, political upheaval, and unrelenting climate change, we light-heartedly examine works from the MOBA collection to discern how art reflects adversity.

MOBA collects, exhibits, and celebrates art that will be seen in no other venue. The Museum Of Bad Art collects, exhibits, and celebrates art that will be seen in no other venue. Since 1993, they have collected art from thrift stores, yard sales, sidewalk trash, and even the artists who create it. They analyze, compare to classic art, and share with thousands of fans around the world. This program is free and is for adults.

Interested participants must provide the library with a name and an active email account to register. Registration is free, but participants must register by March 10.
