Don’t just “fool around” on April 1, hop on your bike and join us for Long Beach Bike for Art, the First Annual Bike Scavenger Hunt. We encourage everyone to wear their most creative cycling costume and decorate their bike for the occasion. The Scavenger Hunt begins and ends at the Museum of Latin American Art. After leaving MOLAA with your first “clue” you’ll have a great time cruising through Long Beach on your bike and discovering the public art installations at the Art Stops while you help keep great art alive in Downtown Long Beach. There’s a 12 Art Stop “hunt” just for adults and a special 4 Art Stop “hunt” for families, with art activities for the kids at each stop.
After completing the Scavenger Hunt, riders will return to the Sculpture Garden at the Museum of Latin American Art for an “after” party that will include a DJ, an awards ceremony for the best costume and best decorated bike, an announcement of the raffle prize winners (raffle prizes will include gift certificates to local restaurants, coffee houses, bike shops and one adult and one child’s bike, among other items), post-ride activities for the kids and a concert by the band La Santa Cecilia.
In addition to Face Painting, Bike and Bike Helmet Decorating Stations and an Art Workshop, post “hunt” kid’s activities will also be provided by the City of Long Beach’s Safe Routes to School program and will include a “Smoothie Bike” drink station for kids, a bicycle safety rodeo with, “Mr. Stop Sign”, and other fun and informative activities for kids and their families.
All monies raised by the first annual Bike for Art Scavenger Hunt will support the exhibition program at The Collaborative as it continues to contribute to the Downtown Long Beach art scene with high quality exhibitions that showcase the work of emerging artists.
