Museum of Bad Art (MOBA)
Few  people are as pretentious as the denizens of the art world. If a picture is worth a thousand words, they usually see fit to analyze it with a couple thousand more. No review of art would be complete without "hegemony," "duality," or "personae." But what about the art that gets no love, the bad art that defiles walls across our nation? We're not even talking about Thomas Kinkade or Patrick Nagle -- we're talking truly bad art, painful to most eyes. Thankfully this museum has seen fit to thumb its nose at art snobs and aggregate the worst of the worst. The gallery is truly astonishing in its depth and breadth; we can only suggest a few starting points: the frightening Jerez the Clown, the creepy floating head of Eileen, and the head-crushing specter of the Vortex. If you want to become a true patron of the arts, donations of non-velvet art and money are welcome. Those tired of the reverence attached to art, should take a stroll in this offbeat museum.
