Old bicycles don’t fade away at BICAS.
If they can’t be refurbished and ridden again, they — or their parts — are often turned into art.
You’ll find a lot of that at the 22nd annual BICAS Art Auction, slated for Saturday, Dec. 2.
Local artists have donated works that echo the bicycle theme.
You may find a sculpture made out of a wheel, or a necklace incorporating screws from a bike, or a painting with a bicycle at its center.
The buildup to the auction promises as much fun as the auction itself. From 6-10 p.m. Dec. 1 and 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Dec. 2, you can preview the works; early bidding is available 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Dec. 2.
Then the silent auction is 6-9 p.m. Dec. 2.
There will be music, puppet shows and brew — specifically, the English-style brown ale, Dragoon BICAS Brown.
It’s all happening at The Art Gallery, 1122 N. Stone Ave. More information at bicas.org.
