Makerspace Urbana represents at Tandem
If you don’t know what Tandem is, here’s a short description from the website:
Tandem: Champaign-Urbana’s Bicycle-Themed Poster Event allows the bicycle and design communities to combine their efforts in a way that will be mutually beneficial for both groups, and for the C-U community as a whole. […] We’re inviting local and regional artists and designers to submit original pieces to be sold at reasonable prices ($20-40 suggested.)
The artists will keep 50% of the proceeds, and the remaining 50% […] will be donated to The Bike Project of Urbana-Champaign to help establish a cooperative bicycle shop in North Champaign.
Of course Makerspace Urbana had to enter. A quick video of our submission is below: a mix of cross stitching, electronics, and touch sensitive thread. And it’s for sale. Half the proceeds go toward the Bike Project and the other half will be donated to Makerspace Urbana! SO BUY OUR ART! It’s for two great causes.
Come check it out in action at Indi Go Gallery (9 E University Ave in Downtown Champaign).
Grand Opening is Friday, August 16th at 6pm. The show will run until August 25th.
