ARTcycle - art galleries tours by bike for Art Month Sydney

For the first time in 2011, Art Month Sydney is offering tours of gallery precincts by bike. Six ARTcycle tours will be led every Saturday during March in the focus art gallery precinct of the week. The tours are led by arts and media commentators - with each set to be flavoured by the individual personality of the ARTcycle leader.

Check out the Art Month Sydney website for further details on times and starting points for the ARTcycle tours. All you need to do is register, turn up with your bike and bring an appetite to discover some new art along the way.
