ArtCrank 2011 Denver

ARTCRANK Denver 2011 will be hosted and sponsored by Josh and Tran Wills’ new Super Ordinary Gallery, featuring the work of more than 30 local artists. The show will open on Friday, September 2 at 6:00pm, and also include a family-friendly Saturday showing from noon until 6:00pm. Admission is free, and limited edition prints of all posters will be sold for $40 on both days.

We’re proud to announce that our Cause Partner for this show is the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA). At Friday’s opening night party, Widmer Brothers Brewing will provide the beer, and proceeds from the sale of ARTCRANK pint glasses will go to support IMBA’s work to build, maintain and protect mountain bike trails. We’ll drink to that!

Dig this: we’re also teaming up with SoBe, Denver artist Mike Graves and screen printing studio by Black Cloud Workshop to stage a Try Everything party on Friday night, with Sobe sampling stations where you can experience all 31 flavors of SoBe, print-it-yourself SoBe t-shirts, and a live, bike-inspired collaborative mural created by the crowd during the show.

Last but not least, we’ll be showing off our brand-new custom Trek District ARTCRANK Edition bike, designed by Denver expat Lifter Baron. You can also see it at Wheat Ridge Cyclery and Turin Bicycles Ltd.
