What a glorious idea
What an inspired place
How great it is to have a place that is full of art so bad that it becomes collectively good
I imagine this is where all prestigious macaroni art dwells
Where macrame goes to retire
I imagine walls covered in construction paper turkeys and Christmas trees made from hand shapes
Cases of scout lanyards
Shelves covered in lopsided ceramics
And so many Bob Ross paint-along landscapes
I imagine pedestals exalting junkyard sculptures inspired by Degas
Portrait galleries more closely resembling the work of Dali and Picasso than might have been intended
What a wonderful concept to celebrate the underwhelming
The failed attempt
The work that only a parent could love (from the back of the closet)
Let the awkward and unwieldy
The uncomfortable and misunderstood
Be transformed into other people's treasure
