We were delighted to announce the agreement with 4Cs Foundation to deliver Art Bikers during the summer of 2018! Heather Wilkinson and Melissa Marr took over this wonderful program and continue to look forward to working in communities all around Halifax and surrounding communities with an incredible team of artists every year!
COMMENTS FROM PARTICIPANTS IN 2018:
Thank you to all the participants, supporters, and community organizations that worked with Art Bikers during the summer! We were thrilled to reunite with families and return to magical gardens and green spaces throughout the city! We were also delighted to meet new faces and make art together throughout the hot summer months! Thank you all! As we wrap up this summer's program, we welcome your ideas, photos and feedback year round!
