Enjoy an evening learning about Cycle Thru! The Art of the Bike. Hear from Amy Dehan, Curator of Decorative Arts and Design, enjoy dinner, and then experience a docent guided tour of the exhibition. Cycle Thru! presents the bicycle as a way to explore intersections of history, popular culture, design, and modern and contemporary art. Spanning the 1860s to today, more than 20 bicycles from The Bicycle Museum of America in New Bremen, Ohio, illustrate the design innovations—both functional and aesthetic—marking the vehicle’s development. Paired with contemporary art by Jarbas Lopes, Bas Jan Ader, and Bari Kumar—as well as selections from the Cincinnati Art Museum’s collections of photographs, fashion, posters, and paintings—visitors can pedal through and ponder the role of the bicycle as an evolving icon, a connector of cultures, and a vehicle for autonomy and freedom to all, regardless of age, gender, and geography.
For each program attended, you can earn CEU’s and 1-2 graduate credits for an additional fee.
