If you have some old bicycle parts in your garage, and who doesn't, now you can put them to use if you have an artistic bent.
Spartanburg, South Carolina, is seeking applications from artists to make outdoor sculptures made from a substantial amount of recycled bicycle parts.
The sculptures will be part of Artcycle, which helps celebrate the Spartanburg Creative Energy campaign in May.
The sculptures don't necessarily have to be made wholly from bicycles, like this piece hanging in the Washington DC Convention Center a few years ago.
Ex-bike
The sculptures must be made of enough bicycle parts that the viewer clearly sees that a significant portion of each sculpture consists of parts that were formerly part of a bicycle.
Ten artists will be featured in the Artcycle display, which will be on view in downtown Spartanburg from May to August. The winning artist will be announced at the Spartanburg ArtWalk event on April 16.
Applications are available at the Spartanburg Creative Energy website. Applications must be turned in by Feb. 27. (Here's a direct link to the Artcycle application [.pdf])
If you have questions, you can contact Amanda at aingram@cityofspartanburg.org .
Artcycle is being put together in partnership with HUB-BUB, the Spartanburg Art Museum and Partners for Active Living.

Also know that the 2009 Bicycle Film Festival is seeking applications. More here.
