Bad Art Night
Bad Art Night
If you’ve ever said the phrase “I’m bad at art,” this is for you, you have no excuse now.
Please join us for Bad Art Night, a painting event where we will be focusing on creative connection with each other by taking the pressure off creating “good art.”
Each piece will have multiple artists so you will be contributing to more than one painting and I’m excited to see what we make together.
Food, Fun, and Drinks Provided!

City Mission is teaming up with PS 7, a local elementary school in Elmhurst, to buy 800 gifts for their grades 2-5 students! Our team has put together an Amazon registry where you can order as many gifts as you want, and they’ll be sent directly to the Elm church. When the gifts arrive, we will coordinate a day (to be determined) to sort the gifts and write little notes on each one for a personal touch! We will be closing the link on Thanksgiving.
