The Archibald prize is on its way. Don't have any artistic talent? Who cares, lets do it anyway and celebrate by letting your creative side run wild.

If you have absolutely no artistic talent at all, then this is for you!

To celebrate the Archibald prize this year you can join the fun by doing your own version bad art style at the library. 

All levels are welcome in this no pressure, judgement free session of art making where you are encouraged to create the worst kind of art you can come up with. Come to one or come to all to continue your masterpiece. No skill necessary and everyone will leave with a truly original piece of art. 

So, leave your artistic flare at home, bring along your enthusiasm and let's get making!
