GS is working on an awesome project for SRAM right now. The coolest brand in cycling has asked us to help create and manage a bike art competition.
We’re selecting 50 artists from around the country to participate and sending them a box of 100 SRAM bike parts. The artists are creating free-standing sculptures using at least 25% of the parts.
The completed art will be on display at the Interbike convention in Las Vegas in September, on display at an exhibition in Chicago in October, and finally auctioned off online in November. All proceeds of the sale of the art will benefit the World Bicycle Relief - a charity founded by SRAM Corporation that has distributed over 75,000 bicycles to people need and trained over 700 field mechanics all around the world since opening their doors in 2005.
The artists are working on their pieces now. Stay tuned to the pART PROJECT website for ongoing updates – soon we’ll add artist bios and eventually photos of the art.
Don’t forget to check out the World Bicycle Relief website and make a donation if you can. Bikes really do change lives and donating to World Bicycle Relief is one way you can make a major impact. Giving away one bike only costs $134. C’mon…you can do that!
