Art120 Youth Summer Camp
Can four bikes move a community forward? That’s exactly what happened at Glass Street’s first ever art bike camps. For the first two weeks of July, Art120 led campers in cutting, welding and painting scrap metal and spare parts to fashion some of the most innovative bikes on the road.
The first week was dedicated to adults 18 and over, followed by campers aged 10 to 15 the second week. In just one week they brainstormed, designed and welded their mobile sculptures, with the youth camp working in teams to produce three bikes total.
