The 28th Annual Art Auction will be on Saturday, December 13th.
This year, join us in celebrating thirty years since the first ever BICAS Art Auction in 1995!
This year’s all-ages bash sure promises to be something special — with food, drinks, music, family fun, and in the place of pride: unique, one-of-a-kind bicycle-inspired art for silent auction, donated by incredible Tucson artists who support our nonprofit mission of transportation accessibility! To keep this work rolling, this year we are asking for a suggested $10-$15 donation to explore the unique, incredible art featured here. The Art Auction will be on Saturday, December 13th, from 5 PM to 9 PM! Bids close at 8 PM. All proceeds go towards accessibility of bicycles and the arts! Slide through for photos from the past few years!
The BICAS Art Mart is returning! It’s a great opportunity to show your support for local artists and the BICAS non-profit organization. The BICAS Art Mart was created in early 2021 in response to Tucson art events being canceled in 2020. In continuing this inspired event, which is becoming a new BICAS tradition, we’re excited to host local talent and emerging artists once more in the socially diverse and inclusive artistic space that is BICAS!
