Bicycle Parts & Components Manufacturer, Chicago Company SRAM, arranged a charity festival-auction for everyone pART Project … This project is an exhibition and sale of amazing sculptures made of bicycle parts, which SRAM provides to each participant of the event. To participate in the auction, the organizers selected about 46 artists and sculptors from all over the world, who had previously passed the selection competition. In their hands, all these lifeless glands become works of art. Plastic and metal parts, carbon fiber, tires and gears, as well as whole frames, seats and chains turned into intricate figures and paintings, installations, and such that the imaginations of the authors can only be envied.
The pART Project art project is planned as a traditional annual competition, at the same time advertising, creative and charitable. SRAM will host it for the third time this year. The money from the sale of the sculptures will be donated to World Bicycle Relief, a charitable foundation for international aid, and the laureates of the competition will receive cash grants and travel to Africa, where they can travel as part of one of the charity missions of this foundation.
In addition to the cycling sculpting competition, SRAM hosts bike rides, bike races and other cycling sports. Learn more about these and other events on the SRAM website.
