Calling Local Artists: Display Your Work
We're excited to announce a new initiative that celebrates the intersection of cycling and creativity in our community. We're offering our wall space (for free) to local artists and photographers looking to sell creative works to the public.
We were inspired to kick this program off by one of the store's founding owners. Joan Norkum is a local artist who has benefitted greatly from opportunities provided by local galleries and art events. In the spirit of paying it forward, we're launching this program to provide another space for local artists.
How It Works
- Your Art, Your Sales: 100% of any sales from artwork in our gallery go directly to you (you'll manage the sale directly). There are no fees on our side to display the art and we don't take any money from any of your sales.
- Display & Exposure: Your art will be featured prominently within our store, giving you valuable exposure to local cycling enthusiasts and visitors who are interested in bikes.
- QR Codes: Please include a QR code on or next to your work that directs viewers to your website, Instagram, or online portfolio to learn more about you and your art.
Display Guidelines
- Theme: Bikes! Your artwork should be inspired by cycling, bikes, or the cycling lifestyle.
- Size: Maximum size for your print is 20" x 30".
- Bike Brands: To maintain positive relationships with our valued bike brands and out of respect to the partnerships other local shops have with their brands, we aren't able to feature artwork showcasing bike brands that we don't carry in our store. Brand agnostic art is welcome.
- Medium: We welcome a variety of mediums, including photography, painting, drawing, mixed media, and more!
