Brandon's Art Bikes Turn Streets into Gallery

Nine artists in Brandon unleashed a fleet of wildly creative, painted bikes designed to turn Main Street into a rolling art exhibit—and encourage folks to ditch cars for bikes, trikes, and scooters. Though a public bike-share plan hit roadblocks due to insurance hurdles, the project—funded by a $15K Vermont Arts Council grant and powered by local recycling partnerships—still shines. Teens and art educators helped build an accessible tricycle, while each bike’s unique design blends community spirit with eco-friendly transport. Come fall, the bikes will be auctioned, funding the next wave of artists—and inspiring other towns to follow suit. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
