Days 3 and 4 - Bike the Arts Preview

On Thursday and Friday we began previewing many of the stops that will be on Kettering's Bike the Arts ride this Saturday, starting at 10 a.m. at the Welker-Rollins Studio behind the Town and Country Shopping Center. Students will be on hand at the school on Saturday to show cyclists around the school and highlight many of the amazing art our students produce. Some of the pictures below are from our ride today. Many thanks to Mr. Federinko for bringing us our lunches to us and to Mrs. Emmons for joining us on our rides these past two days! Check out the pictures below for some of the trip highlights and a preview of what you'll get to see on the ride this Saturday!

Join us this weekend and join the Bike the Arts Event on Facebook!

We Care Arts is an organization dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities through art.

Artists at We Care Arts produce art through a variety of different mediums, much of it going on sale in the lobby.

This is one of the many examples of cool art we found at We Care Arts, Inc.

We stopped at the Kettering Government Center, which also houses a lot of works of art.

Our ride through Central Park to the spot where we ate lunch. Check out that line! Students are doing an awesome job following the rules of the road.

We had our first flat while out on the road today. Our students handled it like pros and were back out riding in no time. It didn't hurt that we waited at Dairy Queen while changing the tube!

Students got to talk with Terry for quite a while and hear about his current project, Fractal Rain, which is going to be installed in the Dayton library. We can't thank him enough for his hospitality!

 

All in all it was a fun week, and we have now visited all of the stops on this year's Bike the Arts Tour. Check out yesterday's post to read more about the Rosewood Arts Centre, which the students were also fortunate enough to visit. We hope you'll do the ride as well on Saturday and stop by to see our school as you visit many of the other awesome art destinations around the city this Saturday! 

The Living Lens Project and the Conflict and Genocide Posters are just two examples of the artwork you will see and hear about at the school this weekend. We look forward to welcoming you and we even have a small gift for our visitors!
