We all have our own ideas on what makes a piece of art suck worse than the next but we&#8217;ve put people to the test. The Corridor Gallery in Casper released a call for entries in August asking the public to submit bad art for a chance at a $500 prize for Worst In Show. Entries poured in and most made us sick. How do you quantify the amount of bad artwork that was submitted? We counted it. We have over 40 pieces of pathetic attemps at art ready to show. We\u2019re happy, embarassed, a little saddened and generally sickened to display them for the October 22nd Bad Art Event at the Corridor Gallery.<\/p>\n<p>The Corridor Gallery is excited to announce the one day event: \u201cBad Art\u201d, a call for original submissions. The submitted original work was derrived from artists, friends, family, found, purchased at thrift stores, antique stores, garage sales. All works but the \u201cWorst in Show\u201d can be bid upon to either keep or destroy by checking a box on the silent auction sheet. Works with a winning bid of destruction will be destroyed by fire, explosion or weaponry by Corridor staff and a video will be made public of the acts. Attendants to the opening will be given raffle tickets with the purchase of a drink or can buy 2 tickets for $5. The raffle ticket will double as a write in vote for \u201cWorst in Show\u201d. The submitter of the winning \u201cWorst in Show\u201d piece will win a cash prize of $500 based upon public vote at the opening reception.<\/p>\n<p>Event Details<\/p>\n<p>Prize: $500 Cash for \u201cWorst In Show\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Location: The Corridor Gallery, 120 E. 2nd St. Casper, WY 82601 Opening &amp; Showing: ONE NIGHT ONLY!
