About
Join us for a discussion on creativity in a world that worships productivity. The authors and editors of Bad Artist offer pragmatic reflections on resisting the culture of productivity while also providing empathy and comradery to artists struggling to honour their artistic impulses.
A reminder for all artists that creativity comes in many different forms and while the world may question creating for art’s sake, it is important to keep creating, not producing.
