About

Art Bikers is a seasonal mobile team of artists engaging children and other community members through artmaking in neighbourhood green spaces around Halifax Regional Municipality(HRM). Two important goals of the Art Bikers  are: to ignite creativity, imagination and inspire hands-on learning through the arts; and to offer resources and experiences for people of all ages to participate in their home communities to express themselves creatively. Through free, street level arts programming, Art Bikers invite folks into expressive artmaking that promotes mental and physical wellbeing, and contributes to a supportive network for broader community care. We create pop-up spaces for children and families, and other community members to be engaged outdoors, in safe activities that engage the senses, develop skills and confidence, and are fun.

The Art Bikers program - a mobile bicycle and trailer-based art program - was started by the 4Cs Foundation in 2007 to provide free artmaking opportunities in neighbourhoods and communities throughout HRM. Under the visionary leadership of artists Jesse Harrod and 4Cs Executive Director/Artist Terri Whetstone, the program was designed to provide arts programming at a community level that broke down barriers and was accessible to all. Additionally, the program provided well-paid summer jobs to emerging artists training them in arts-based community development. Wonder’neath has stewarded the program since 2017, and in May of 2020, Art Bikers was fully transferred to Wonder’neath Art Society.

Over its history, Art Bikers has become well-known and deeply appreciated by the children, families and community members have taken part in art-making activities in their neighbourhoods and at special events and festivals.

Meet the SEASON 20 (WOW!) Team

We are thrilled to announce Art Bikers Season 20!

So thrilled to introduce our stellar team: Margaryta Logvyn, Ambrose Wilson-Moola and returning Art Biker Raphael Chipman! Catch them this summer as they bring playful creativity to outdoor spaces throughout HRM! For the fourth year, the Art Bikers will be working alongside folks from the Pop Up Bike Hub Mini (Ecology Action Centre's Community Bike Repair Hub on wheels). We can't wait to meet community members in their parks, community gardens and beloved gathering spaces!

Ambrose Wilson-Moola

Ambrose Wilson-Moola is a multimedia artist, art facilitator and musician studying at NSCAD University. His practice is inspired by curiosity, wonder, and play! He enjoys bike adventures, hiking with his friends, choral performance and making art outside in the sun. Ambrose believes creativity is for everyone, and loves helping people make the art that excites them! He can’t wait to make art with you this summer!

Margaryta Logvyn

Margaryta Logvyn is a 2026 art biker, artist by hanit, and lifelong defender of unicorns and dragons against the everlasting debates of “realistic” subject matter. They bounce between painting, drawing, crochet, and clay, but if it can’t be a little magical, they’re probably not interested. They make art involving the community, paint any white surface along the way, and firmly believe imagination has room for everyone :)

Raphael Chipman

Raphael Chipman is a student of Art History at NSCAD, an eclectic multimedia artist, and a lifelong fan of generally causing mischief. In his spare time, he can be found cooking, baking, and spending time with loved ones. He has been involved in art making initiatives with local organizations such as The Youth Project, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, and Nocturne.
