ARTCRANK St. Louis 2010
Bikes are the world’s most fun and accessible way to get around. Posters are the world’s most fun and accessible art form. ARTCRANK brings them together.
ARTCRANK St. Louis 2010 will take place during the Tour De Grove at Atomic Cowboy on Saturday, June 12 (7:00 – Midnight) and Sunday, June 13 (Noon – 4:00). The show features bike-inspired posters by 35 local artists — all just $30 each. We’re joining forces with Big Shark Bikes, ROKITMUL, Iron Age Tattoo and I Scream Cakes to throw a bike culture party of epic proportions.
We’re also pleased to announce that Shearwater Education Foundation will be our charitable partner in St. Louis. Shearwater helps young people unable to succeed in a traditional high school finish their education andget them ready for college, work, and life.
