Celebrate art, bikes and Earth Day with the Savannah Bicycle Campaign and Art Rise Savannah! We’re partnering to host a brand new mini-festival: reCycle Art!
Part auction, part workshop, part concert, reCycle Art is a unique event that highlights so much of what is wonderful about our city, from local business to art to advocacy for healthy, alternative transportation. Along with the art for sale, we’ll also be bringing you a jam-packed week full of fun and free events leading up to the Savannah Earth Day Festival and the Savannah Bicycle Campaign’s Earth Day Wheelie and bicycle parade on April 18.
Sponsors Forsyth Farmer’s Market, Georgia Bikes!, the Savannah Bee Company and Foxy Loxy will be making this an awesome week of art, sustainability and Savannah!
Read on below for details on all of the fun activities in store for reCycle Art!
Play with your Food! (April 15, 6 – 9 p.m.)
We’ll be kicking off the week with the Forsyth Farmer’s Market and local musician Ben Austin.
We’ll have workshops with your favorite market in town where families (and everyone else) can play around with sustainable and delicious food, while veteran musician and delightful guy Ben Austin entertains with acoustic music throughout the night!
Bicycle Power! (April 16, 6 – 9 p.m.)
Georgia Bikes! takes the stage to talk about serious business: decorating bicycles and the best way to stand out in a bicycle parade! Make sure to come by for ideas on Thursday and bring your bike to decorate on Saturday for the Earth Day Wheelie bicycle parade!
We’ll also have a bicycle-powered video game up and running on Thursday night, designed and built by SBC’s resident mechanic Jen Colestock and Athens jack-of-all-trades Ben Edwards. Try your hands (and feet) at the game and pedal your way to victory.
Bees in your DIP! (April 17, 6 – 10 p.m.)
Come for the natural, nourishing and delicious beauty and health tips from the Savannah Bee Company, but stay for the awesome and (very) energetic performance from DIP – an Athens band that will make our last night of the auction one of the best!
Bicycle Décor (April 18)
Georgia Bikes! and Art Rise Savannah will be teaming up at the Earth Day Festival to help you decorate your bike before embarking on the Earth Day Wheelie’s bicycle parade in style.
Foxy Loxy Cold Brew and Treats (April 15 – 17, 6 – 9 p.m.)
