HOMETOWN BICYCLES’ STUDENT ART PROGRAM!

Hometown Bicycles Student Art Program in our community room

(Student art from Brighton High School on display in our Community Room!)
WE’RE SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!!

We’re putting out a challenge to the schools in our community – to have their art students (drawing, painting, metalwork, pottery, you-name-it-we’ll-take-it) create bicycle artwork to display in our shop. Many of these pieces will be for sale, AND (this is important)…

100% OF STUDENT ART SALES GOES DIRECTLY
TO THE STUDENT WHO CREATED IT!

This is a chance for budding artists to get some real-world business experience and public exposure for their art.

A special kudos goes out to Maureen Ray and her Brighton High School art studentsfor being the first to accept the challenge! Come and check out their imaginative artwork at our shop. Maybe you’ll see something that you’ll want to take home!

Want to see YOUR kids’ artwork at Hometown? Connect with your school art teacher, and have them contact Dawn at office@myhometownbicycles.com or (810) 225-2441. Any school, any age level; it’s never too early to support a love for art and bicycles!

BICYCLE ART AT HOMETOWN: SUZANNE ALLEN

Suzanne Allen artwork

Suzanne Allen - artist - at Hometown BicyclesSue is a wellspring of information, and her art tells the stories that she’s collected over years of professorship and research. What we especially love about her work is that it’s VIBRANT and playful, while still appealing to the intellectual cyclist. But even if pondering isn’t your thing, we encourage you to enjoy a refreshing smile in front of the jaunty, neon head of “Bike Face”!

BICYCLE ART AT HOMETOWN: PEGGY KERWAN

(Artwork copyright Peggy Kerwan. All rights reserved.)
Peggy Kerwan artwork "Pink Ladies"Peggy GETS cycling; she’s a cyclist who finds the fun in any bike-bound adventure. And her artwork is about those adventures – the people, the places, and the roadkill rat (yes, you read that right!) that turn a ride into something worth capturing on canvas. You may have seen some of Peggy’s work at the Wooden Spoon in Brighton, where she curates. We’re delighted to have her creativity here at the shop!
