CRAFT WEEKEND - BIKE STENCIL AND SCREEN PARTY !!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This weekend is a great time to drop off your submissions
for the big bike art show, and we are hosting a stencil and
screen printing party.

Sat Jan 31 & Sun Feb 1,
2pm - 8pm both days

Studio 350, Flatiron Arts Building
1579 North Milwaukee Ave.

We have plenty of supplies, even a 1" button maker, but we need clothes, bags, hats, cloth and paper to print on. The rule is to bring one item for yourself and another to donate to the show. If you have your own designs that you would like to produce, please be prepared to bring your own supplies.

Agreed! Great job to everyone, on the video and on the entire Art Show (of course there are more events to come!). I'm proud & happy & lucky to be a cyclist in the awesomely diverse Chicago cycling community, and this to me is certainly a great celebration of it all.

It was cool to see how Dubi's Bike Salute project turned out. I stopped at Flash Taco for a bite before checking out the Art Show. As I sat in the front window enjoying a bit of people watching, I noticed images in a window of the Flatiron Bldg and looked up. I watched the whole thing and saw some folks passing on the sidewalk who stopped to watch it too. Then I went up to see the rest of the show.

here is another venue for all of the bike art if you want to show it again.

I never heard of this gallery which apparently sells its own brand of moisturizer.
