Every fourth Saturday of the month, the multi-purpose room beside the Eno Arts Mill gallery turns into a classroom. Folding tables and chairs and a slew of donated art supplies fill the space for three hours of individual and collaborative art. Breaks are worked into the schedule, but most participants are so focused they only pause to get water or eat some of the provided snacks.

Marty Rogers, a Raleigh writer and collage artist, was this month’s guest teacher at Bad Art Club in Hillsborough. In between presenting to the class of a dozen participants, Rogers worked on a project of their own.

“I’m just kind of combining colors that I feel like wouldn’t usually go together because I feel like this is a great time to just be able to just mess around and experiment,” Rogers said, “whereas when I’m in my studio or just by myself it feels more high stakes almost.” 
Rogers said Bad Art Club is all about trying out new techniques… and color combinations: 

“I really am such an orange hater, I feel like it’s like my least favorite color and I’m also not that big of a green fan, so I decided to put them next to each other and it looks absolutely hideous but I’m still excited about it because at least I tried,” Rogers added. 

Bad Art Club was created just over a year ago by local artist Shady Kimzey. Kimzey pitched the idea to Eno Arts Mill in February 2023 just after leaving their job at UNC. The class is organized by the Orange County Arts Commission and the Eno Arts Mill and is sponsored by Grow Your World, which is a local tutoring and arts nonprofit. 

“I wanted to create a class for, you know, new artists, non-artists, and people that just love to create, in a low stakes environment where we focus on the process of making art and not the outcome being necessarily ‘good,'” Kimzey said.
