What Inspires YOU? Explore the art of the bicycle in Artcycle, a participatory exhibition in VMFA’s Memorial Foundation for Children Teaching Gallery, located in the MWV Art Education Center. Discover how artists have been inspired by the bicycle and movement by engaging in this interactive space. Visitors can take a virtual tour on a bike through works in VMFA’s collection, experiment with creating objects out of bike inspired parts, and take a selfie at our bicycle mural #VMFAartcycle.

The exhibition opens just in time for the UCI Road World Championships cycling races in Richmond, September –2015.
