Spring is officially rung in with this year’s “Art Crank” show. It’s a bunch of “affordable artwork” from bike-enthusiast artists from across the city (and the state.) Taking the form of posters, prints, and at least one photo, each work is available in a limited run for a price right around $25 each. See inside for some exhibition photos and full details, including a full participating artist list with webpage links.

This year’s show took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, on Saturday, April 4. The Denver version will take place on the 11th of April, and will, I assume, be filled with posters from artists in Denver.

This Minneapolis version continues until May 2nd, and is located at 117 Washington Ave N, Minneapolis MN 55401. After that, join the crew during Art-A-Whirl at the Northrup King Building, also in Minneapolis, May 15th: 5 p.m.- 10 p.m, May 16th: Noon – 8 p.m, and May 17th: Noon – 5 p.m.
