Many riders are creative beings on and off the bike. It seems that there is this creative juice that runs through all riders veins and no matter what they put their mind to they create beautiful art, music, food, videos, graphic design and much more. We wanted to highlight this nature of bike riders and that is what “When I’m Not Riding” is! Look into the worlds of local riders off the bike with designs and artwork inspired by The Wheel Mill and other artwork from each artist. The night will include a gallery of the art, music, food and refreshments. Admission is free to the public.
Date: February 6th
Time: 8-11pm
Artists: Batch, Opat, Fisers, Clayton, Milchak, Exler, Hobbs, Ritter, Squier, Moschetta, Hughes, Haynes and Mantle
