ARTCRANK CHI will feature hand-made, bike-inspired posters created by Chicago area artists. Limited edition, signed and numbered copies of all posters will be available for $40 each. Admission is free. 

ARTCRANK is a show of bicycle-inspired poster artwork that introduces people to talented local artists and sends them home with affordable, original works of art. Since our 2007 debut in Minneapolis, we’ve held shows in bike-lovin’ cities like Portland, San Francisco, New York, Austin, Los Angeles and London. Our first-ever Chicago show will be held at the Co-Prosperity Sphere on Friday, May 17.

We’ll be working with our friends from Widmer Brothers Brewing, Clif Bar, Neenah Paper and Threadless to celebrate bikes and local artists, and support World Bicycle Relief. This nonprofit partnership that’s provided more than 100,000 bicycles to people in developing countries, giving them sustainable transportation and improved access to education, healthcare and economic opportunity.
