Toddler art

[Loveache]

So today via Facebook I was invited to attend an art exhibition in a local gallery. It's on over two days.

The 'artist' is a two-year-old boy.

I first thought it was either a piss-take or fundraising, but further investigation proved otherwise.
These parents have had their baby's scribbles professionally framed, rented a gallery for a weekend and made a formal event to 'launch' him as an artist. They are serious.

AIBU/ horribly mean or is this an unacceptable level of parental wankery?

I wish I knew these people. They sound a lot more entertaining than the people I'm usually annoyed with for telling me their struggle to find breadsticks without salt. They've taken it to the next level, and I respect that. I would definitely go, and I would take my toddler and when she shouts 'FLEUURGGLE MAMFB' at a painting I would ponder her observation.

I'm usually fighting at the other end of the scale, though, answering FIL's inevitable 'what's that meant to be then?' with 'a bloody painting!'

We should be able to see this Instagram page!

I don't know them but this sounds like such a West London thing to do

Genius - I have a binbag full of Dd1's creations under her bed (threw 2 out when we moved). Was wondering what to do with them. Off to Google gallery space 😂😂😂😂😂

This thread seems quite apt as I've just read the other one about more money than sense...
My dc have created plenty of art - they have their own private galleries in their rooms.
