Following the Cycling and Rural Mobility Conference on Friday, June 22 at ArtSpring, the festivities will take place with the pART Project Spoke ‘N Song Gala.

In January, 24 Salt Spring artists received a box of brand new bicycle components from the SRAM corporation in Chicago and were asked to make art from the parts. What they’ve created in nothing less than astounding. During the pART Project Spoke ‘N Song Gala these beautiful pieces will be auctioned with the proceeds going to World Bicycle Relief – an organization that has provided more than 100,000 bikes to Africa. Join the Velo Village team for a Gala evening of celebration, performance, wit and silent bidding. Advance tickets available at ArtSpring by calling 250-537-2102.
