Recycling Art


The Student Arts Council along with co-sponsorships from all
over our community are bringing to campus one hundred (that's right, 100! no joke) new, single-speed bicycles for community decoration and use. Remember the decorated tigers? Same idea. But this time, you can ride on the art - indefinitely. The bikes are community bikes.

Ride to class. Take one to the Nature Park. Go to Kroger or Fine Print. And when you're done, leave it in a rack for someone else to enjoy. The bikes will be introduced to campus on Thursday, October 25, the opening day of ArtsFest 2007: Art & the Environment. Those who decorate a bike will be invited to participate in the kick-off bike parade and cookout.

There are three ways to get involved:

1. Enter a design proposal. Do it yourself, or get your house involved, your department, your organization, your class, your housemates, or your pals. Additional information and detailed criteria for entering a proposal is on the proposal forms available at the Campus Activities Office or http://www.depauw.edu/univ/arts/artsfest/.The proposals must be returned to UB 100 by September 20.

2. Co-sponsor the project. The project is seeking financial support for this campus-wide event, and our goal is to get sponsorships from every organization, department, and division on campus. See the value of this great project and become a sponsor.

3. Enter a design proposal AND co-sponsor the project. The best choice by far.

Get your proposals soon and become apart of this community wide project!
