You are invited to attend “Bicycles and the Arts,” the kick-off event for the Sixth Annual Chicago Calling Arts Festival. This event also happens during the 2011 Chicago Artists Month.

In addition, this event will be a fundraiser for Co-op Image’s Fall 2011 Glassworks Program. This event is being presented by the Borderbend Arts Collective, in partnership with Chicago Hot Glass.
