I got excited about the ARTCRANK bike poster show coming to SF this Saturday pretty early, but my enthusiasm is renewed in finding out that local designer/cyclist extraordinaire Meli Grosa of Bikes and The City will be showing work for sale. Both ARTCRANK and Chrome Bags will be donating $2 per print sold to Bikes to Rwanda. Between “bikes, boys y coffee” and the Portland-based non-profit doing important work to increase African farmers’ profits, there isn’t anything here that’s not to love.
And, because I love the simplicity of the vision:
Besides admission being free and the $30 pieces being eye-catching, the Artcrank organizers’ description is reason enough for me: “Bikes are the world’s most fun and accessible way to get around. Posters are the world’s most fun and accessible art form.”
