Ads2Art
Ads2Art Boulder
Bikes and art just naturally go together so why not make it official at launch? The baskets on the Boulder B-cycle bikes will be transformed from advertising space into art space.

Why: Why not? Maybe because we wonder what would happen if people saw more art and fewer ads.

Who: We're looking for Colorado front range artists of all abilities interested in bringing art out of the gallery and onto the streets.

What: Ads2Art is a project designed to turn Boulder, Colorado, bike sharing into the most creative and inspired in the country. The Fearless Fund has donated $50k to Boulder B-cycle, and they have directed that donation towards 50 bikes worth of annual basket advertising. The 25 selected artist panels will grace the bikes and rip around Boulder for one year, as will the work of another 25 artists whose work fetches the highest price at auction.

When: Soon. Very soon. So snag your panel now. The Ads2Art Gala Evening will be June 2, 2011 at Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, 1750 13th Street, Boulder, CO http://www.bmoca.org/
All of the panels will be on display and auctioned.

CALLING ALL CREATIVE PEEPS.
GET INVOLVED IN BRINGING ART BEYOND THE GALLERY AND ONTO THE STREETS.

Be one of 50 selected artists/designers whose work will tour and inspire the streets of Boulder for a year.
Ads2Art is accepting applications for 25 selected artists now. So, spread the word and let's make this a great example of how art can inspire even more as it leaves the gallery and hits the streets. Artists can apply here on the site or through [email protected] to be a selected artist and receive a basket panel. All art/designs should be an original work created for Ads2Art Boulder.

All original art work will go to the buyers and photo reproductions will be applied to the bikes. All proceeds generated at auction and through the sale of panels go to Boulder B-cycle.
