Art Bike
The Boise Bicycle Project is presenting ART BIKE as a part of the First Thursday festivities for August in Downtown Boise. From the folks at the Boise Bicycle Project:
On Thursday August 6th 13th, Boise Bicycle Project presents ART BIKE at the Modern Hotel in the Linen District. Over 20 bicycles painted by local artists will be sold through live auction. Participants will enjoy music by Ned Evett and food & beverage will be available. Biking is encouraged, and valet service will be offered. Those who use the valet will be entered in a drawing for prizes. This event runs from 5 to 10 pm, and costumes are encouraged but not required. Contact the Boise Bicycle Project at boisebicycleproject@gmail.com for questions.
This should be a good opportunity to see the work of local artists on a unique canvas, and listen to the tunes from an excellent musician.
UPDATE: Weather has forced this event to be rescheduled from August 6th to August 13th.
