See creative artworks, iconography and object ephemera from Chicago's ARTS and ADVOCACY communities that celebrate, revere, lionize, criticize and focus on THE BICYCLE as symbol of activism, invention, agency, community, strategy and sustainable transportation. This exhibit presents works in all media – paint, print, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, audio, installation, craft and fashion. The curatorial theme—and only content restriction—is that the work should be bicycle themed or inspired.

Chicago Bike Winter is a loose knit advocacy group dedicated to promoting the joys, rights and opportunities for Chicagoans to bike the city's roads, streets, trails and byways throughout the year (and especially provides resources to encourage biking in Winter months.) The Bike Winter Art Show (BWAS) has been presented in various studios, lofts and galleries since 1997.
