Submissions are now closed. Bad Art Good Sex™ is ending all shows and events and permanently shutting down. We'd just like to say thanks to all of the artists we've met along the way — for making good art and good sex possible.
Bad Art Good Sex™ Curatorial Team is chosen annually and charged with the responsibility of recommending and soliciting bad artists from all over the world to participate in intimate and group sex. Considerations of artists' submissions and its recommendations are then given to the Bad Art Good Sex™ Board of Directors.
The Curatorial Team is composed of six members equally representing the interests of the Bad Art Good Sex™, local arts community leaders, and the wider international art world at large.
Two members from the Board of Directors, two representatives of the community at large, and two member artists reflecting a broad cross–section of the international visual arts community in its multifaceted variety of training and practice.
Bad Art Good Sex™ thanks the Curatorial Team for their time and work in assessing Submissions and Proposals and for scheduling monthly and yearly events.
