Art Bikers are done for the season. We had such a great summer! There were so many amazing community members we had the pleasure to work with and the projects that we created with them continued to surprise and inspire us all summer long. So many talented creative people! We will seriously miss you. Thank you so much! (this picture is from our last day working with Hope Blooms just one of the amazing groups we worked with this summer)

International Yarn Bombing Day
Happy International Yarn Bombing Day!
The Art Bikers once again ventured out into our community to add some Yarn Art to unexpected places! This year we created 3 big installations along the bike connector path on Windsor Street near Quinpool Road. We loved that people stopped to talk, or looked around and smiled as they passed through the space. We hope you enjoy discovering this space!
100 in 1 day
100 in 1 Day was a success! Our first project of the year, we built a mini community gallery in front of our Clifton street studio. The sun was shining and we met many interesting people from the community. Great start, thank you for being so welcoming and supportive.

We will be posting some updates soon about our plans for the summer but we would also love to hear from you and your community about any dreams you have that could involve the Art Bikers.
