Wallace & Turner is once again serving as a sponsor for Champaign County Arts Council's Bad Art by Good People fundraiser which features non-artist celebrities competing to create a work of art and campaigning for the public's votes for their artwork.

This year’s celebrity artist this year is Ed Asner, the late American actor known for his trademark husky voice and his role as Lou Grant on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and as the voice of Carl Fredricksen in the movie “Up.” The “Up”-themed piece, which is autographed three times, was donated to the fundraiser by Urbana Daily Citizen Sports Editor Steve Stout and it will be part of the dinner and auction.

The 13th annual event will be held on May 3, 2024, at The Woodruff Farm. All proceeds will benefit the Arts Council.

Tickets are for sale at the Arts Council’s office and online at the Arts Council’s website. Tickets are $30 and include a catered dinner and dessert. Buy tickets and vote here.
