Art Wheelers will offer bicycle-led guided tours of Vancouver’s public art in July and August 2011. A variety of tour themes will be offered, each telling a unique story about Vancouver’s identity and history through its public art. The changing bike routes offer Vancouver’s citizens and visitors the opportunity to explore the city in new and exciting ways, while educating participants about the city’s Public Art program and the international and local artists they have engaged. Pairing art and culture with cycling demonstrates the ease with which the city will achieve its ambition to be “the greenest city by 2020.”
Art Wheelers tours will be offered on alternating Saturday afternoons and Wednesday evenings in July and August 2011.
Saturdays (July 2, July 16, August 6, August 20) - 1:00pm - 3:00pm
