Hello, Everyone.
The Tecumseh BIA in Tecumseh, Ontario is having a Bike
Rack Sculpture competition as part of their Gallery Without Walls.
They would like submissions of functional sculptures,
bike racks that are also art.
The application deadline is April 30th, and they'd like
drawings and a maquette; the other critera for submissions are on
their website.
The winners will be chosen by May 15th, and they'd like
the racks completed by August 15th. There is $2000(Cdn)"and further
details" for each of the winners.
"Open to all artists", is what they say, but if you're
not Canadian you'll have to figure out if you can do this.
Their contest is modelled on the one from Louisville
Kentucky, and the sculptures from that place look great. Even if
this contest is not feasible for you, setting up something similar
in your city might be.
Sending them a note supporting the idea might also help
Tecumseh's bike boosters.

Bike!Bike! is such an incredible meeting of the minds. Nathan Wilkes (Austin Yellow Bike Project) did a great presentation on how Community Bike Organizations can use Technology. His implementations of website design, newsletters, and custom tracking software have created incredible growth at the Austin Yellow Bike Project.
We also had a great workshop and discussion on the needs of all the different shops. This was more of an information and contact info gathering session. With the ideas gathered at that session we intend to write open-source (free) software that other organizations can use to help keep track of volunteers, bikes, accounting, and all the other clerical work that keeps us from working on bikes. |
