This post has been long time in coming but given the 800+ portrait requests from our 2023 Bad Art Fundraiser, we hope you can forgive us that we’re only now posting all the wonderfully bad and not-so-bad art.
We extend our immense gratitude to all the donors who requested portraits of their beloved pets, our 350+ participating artists, and to the volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. Because of all of you, we raised over $63K to help fund the life-saving work being done at Oakland Animal Services.
Without further delay, we bring you the portraits from the 2023 Bad Art Fundraiser:
