ArtReach’s Annual Charity Art Auction Features Custom-Designed Electra Bicycles
ArtReach is hosting a Charity Art Auction to support free visual arts education for youth at San Diego County schools and community centers.
Electra Bicycle Company, a San Diego-based company and the leading lifestyle bicycle brand in the U.S., has generously donated a collection of cruiser bikes and bike accessories to be designed by local artists.
“When the opportunity came up to partner with ArtReach, we were thrilled,” said Kevin Cox, president at Electra Bicycle Company. “One of Electra’s core values is artistry. As designers, we are always working on new and creative ways to excite and delight people with our products. Being able to provide our bikes as a canvas for young, local artists to explore has been a real treat. I know their designs will be awesome, as well as inspiring!”
