What is a SculptCycle?

 It is one of 20 unique sculptures utilizing recycled bicycle parts which will be on display in downtown Montpelier between June and October 2008.

 

Montpelier SculptCycle 2008 is a cutting edge art partnership to enrich the entire community by bringing art to the streets.

 

Montpelier Downtown Community Association has partnered with artists and sponsors  to bring a summer and fall full of events to highlight the great art in our community and the importance of environmental stewardship.
