These monthly events are also perfect for family art outings.


Standing Room Only
Friday, April 20– Sunday, June 16
Vulcan Gallery

Standing Room Only will feature a selection of 20 artist customized bike seats. This show will transform the everyday and familiar seat into work of art. The show’s title makes reference to this change in the object’s function; what is usually seen as a tool for sitting and part of the bicycle unit will become an object of display and will be exhibited as such, standing on pedestals as purely an art object. Each seat will be re-purposed and uniquely selected for each artist.
