2025 Bad Art Gallery

Last summer, we had our annual Bad Art Fundraiser to support the lifesaving work at Oakland Animal Services! This fundraiser brought together an incredible community of volunteer artists, each lending their creativity, time, and heart to transform pet photos into truly one-of-a-kind masterpieces.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to the supporters who submitted a record-breaking 1,202 portrait requests, the 308 participating volunteer artists who brought them to life, and the dedicated administrative volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly.

Together, we brought so many smiles to our supporters’ faces and made the biggest impact yet to help fund critical programs for Oakland’s shelter animals.

And now, without further ado… We’re thrilled to (finally) present the digital gallery of portraits from the 2025 Bad Art Fundraiser.

P.S. We’re gearing up for Bad Art 2026 – COMING SOON – AUGUST 24, 2026!
