Contemporary Kids will feature the animal bikes and kids are encouraged to interact with the bikes and ride them around our outdoor patio.
This mini-herd of animal-inspired bicycles is bringing awareness to transportation challenges faced by students. The bicycles will be on view at Georgia Tech at the Ferst Center for the Arts October 26-November 11, 2017. Atlanta Contemporary will host the bicycles November 12-November 19, 2017.
