Art Uncorked and Museum of Bad Art

A Living Social deal that will surely bring out the Picasso in you:


Art Uncorked 2 tickets for $45


"Vortex" unknown artist
found in trash




















Today's deal gets you two tickets to an Art Uncorked event for $45 (regularly $90). Even if you've never held a brush before, your inner artist will come out to play at this three-hour class that's one part painting, one part wine-drinking, and all parts fun. Perfect for a girls' night out or a date night, these events are held at restaurants and wine bars throughout the Bay Area (in San Francisco, Berkeley, Mountain View, Fremont, and Burlingame). Though wine isn't included, drink specials are often available for Art Uncorked participants. Your experienced, entertaining instructor will guide you through the featured artistic work of the evening, then answer questions as you create your own masterpiece to take home. Each class includes all the supplies you need, so you can relax and have a great time with new friends and old. Grab a brush and paint some great savings in the foreground of your picture.


There are 8 locations in the Bay Area with 3 in San Francisco.



When i searched for images for this post, i came across the Museum of Bad Art and of course, was interested in their portraiture section.  It is pretty hilarious.  But it begs the question, what makes art bad?

I went through the collection and found a few pieces that didn't deserve the "bad art" label.


"Tables Have Turned"
found in trash
This was a little Ashile Gorky-like.
"Winter Monolith"
purchased from a Boston thrift store

Maybe this one deserves the title but I like the  monochromatic hues.  

"James the Male Model"
purchased at a thrift store

This nude has mood and is kind of interesting.
