ARTCRANK MSP 2013 is now closed. Thanks to all of the artists and everyone who came out to support bikes, local art and Springboard for the Arts.
UPDATE: ARTCRANK Minneapolis 2013 is now closed. Thanks to everyone who contributed to making this our biggest and most successful show ever. We’ll be back in 2014 with more original, bike-inspired posters by local artists.
Generous contributions by Widmer Brothers Brewing, Neenah Paper, and Third North Apartments helped us raise more than $3,000 to support Springboard for the Arts and its ongoing efforts to provide medical care to uninsured Twin Cities artists and their families.
Special thanks to Grain Belt Studios, One On One Bicycle Studio and Handsome Cycles for hosting our opening night party and continuing exhibition.
And if you’re looking to frame that new poster, Mitrebox Framing is offering special standard and custom framing packages exclsuively for ARTCRANK posters.

It’s a chance to make art about bikes with no real rules or clients.
