Advice Exchange!
It ended up to be a beautiful day for Pride Parade this year and the Art Bikers took advantage of such a great crowd of people to present a fun and interactive advice exchange booth!
We asked for people to leave their best advice, and feel free to read what others had left and to take some advice that spoke to them. People of all ages really enjoyed browsing through the sage words of their fellow Haligonians!
We managed to snap a few pictures...
Wish You Were Here!
Art Postcard making at Fuller Terrace Park
We spend a really wonderful day at this lovely little park in the North End of Halifax happily making art postcards to send to someone special...it was a day of making connections!
The families here were so pleased to have us and encouraged us to please come back again soon!
With our new friends, we made art postcards featuring our favorite places in the HRM and sent them to someone special explaining why we wished they were here. Our art was mailed in our magical postbox and sent off into the world! Will anyone write back?!?!
Creature Creations at Cornwallis Park
The first week of July marked the Art Bikers official launch party and we kicked things off with a 2 day project at Cornwallis Park downtown by the Westin/train station.
This was our first time at this park and found it to be a very pedestrian thoroughfare location, with local business people, sunbathers, traveler tourists, daycares, ESL students and day camps all passing through. We managed to entice more than a few to take part, creating whimsical contributions to our exquisite creatures, which became amazingly fantastical "stand in" panels that we left installed in the park for all to enjoy!
We really enjoyed meeting everyone who came by and we'd like to encourage the folks of HRM to take the time to go see these funny characters and take a few photos! Tag us on Facebook so we can see!

The Sound of Ardmore
The park was alive with the sound of music!
Our first project of the summer back at Ardmore park was a jam! We explored instrument making, playing together and recording sounds!
We built our own guitars, shakers, xylophones and drums out of recycled materials and found objects. Then we practiced playing them together using different rhythms and dynamics.
Our recordings are going to be made into a song available for all to hear! Coming soon!
Thanks to everybody who participated!
