Selected Art Works to be Displayed in Japan

Long-time Minneapolis VSAartists are all happy to know that one of their paintings will soon be included in an exhibit at the AaMo Gallery in the Tokyo Dome City in Japan. Juggling Dog in Hula Skirt will be one of 110 pieces curated by the Museum of Bad Art from November 22 to January 14, 2019.

The Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) is a privately owned museum whose stated aim is “to celebrate the labor of artists whose work would be displayed and appreciated in no other forum.” It was originally located in Dedham with current branches in Somerville, Brookline, and South Weymouth in Massachusetts. Its permanent collection includes 500 pieces of “art too bad to be ignored,” 25 to 35 of which are on public display at any one time.
