Fourth Annual Bad Art by Good People Fundraising Event

Shelby County, OH - Gateway Arts Council announces the fourth annual Bad Art By Good People fundraising event. This is a light hearted election for the arts. Twenty-four local personalities have been given a blank 16 x 20 canvas and partnered up with a professional artist to create a piece of art. Artists from Anna, Botkins, Fort Loramie, Jackson Center, Russia and Sidney will not only be creating art, they will be fighting for your votes. Gateway Arts Council Executive Director Ellen Keyes said, “We wanted to have an event that brought art to everyone and illustrated that everyone has creativity in them.”  Once all the artwork is completed (Sept. 1) the election process begins. This election however will be like nothing you have ever experienced before. There may be scandals, information may be leaked and many other election no-no’s. Every member of the community is encouraged to vote and vote as many times as they’d like. Voting will cost $1 per vote and anyone can vote. There are no restrictions on age, geography or number of times you can vote. All of the proceeds from the election go to helping Gateway Arts Council provide quality artistic experiences and entertainment to Sidney and the Shelby County community.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
