ARTCRANK St. Louis 2013

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

ARTCRANK will return to St. Louis as part of the 2013 edition of the MO PRO Professional Cycling Series. Once again, we’ll stage the world’s greatest bike poster show in the friendly confines of Atomic Cowboy. And we’re planning three days of bike-lovin’ fun with our partners in crime at Big Shark Bicycle Co.

We’re teaming up with Atomic Cowboy to support St. Louis BicycleWORKS, an organization that gives kids the chance to earn a free bike while they learn about bike safety and maintenance through their Earn-a-Bike program, which has provided inner-city kids with more than 10,000 bikes.

Please check back for updates, and follow ARTCRANK on Twitter and Facebook for the latest news.
