Art Bikes, is the creative initiative to coincide with the BMX National Championships in May 2019 and the BMX Supercross World Cup in 2020 events that will be hosted in Greater Shepparton.
BMX bikes will be provided by Council and artists can propose artwork which best demonstrates creative practice, talent and skill to provide a unique street art installation.
Greater Shepparton City Council Manager Economic Development, Anthony Nicolaci said the project was part of Council’s initiative to support artist and community groups in delivering a range of creative public art and promote Greater Shepparton positively to visitors converging to the region during the upcoming events.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to contribute and create something vibrant for the community whilst supporting a major event,” Mr Nicolaci said.
“Council is always exploring more ways to promote local artists and this is a great platform to have your work admired by residents and the thousands of visitors the BMX events will bring with them.”
