It was an unusually cold Saturday in July, as the team of Papergirl Vancouver 2014 got ready for our annual ride out. The threat of rain has us wondering if we should move the ride out to another day. Do we have a transit day? Meet up tomorrow and see how it goes? But no, we decide to face the threat head on and ride out bikes out into the city ready to bear the gift of art onto unsuspecting Vancouverites.
And so we do. We bike from the Roundhouse over to False Creek, a feat that you can see here and hand out all of our nearly 300 lovingly submitted art pieces to strangers. Approaching anyone we see who seems like they would love a piece of original artwork, our day is filled with great conversation about art, our city and of course laughter. We decided to brave the rain and we’re glad for it though not a lot of people were out venturing the city we do leave False Creek a little lighter of our over 300 pieces neatly placed into the hands of their new owners and head back to the Roundhouse to reflect on our wonderfully cold ride out.
Papergirl 2015 has begun! We are still looking for Papergirls and Paperboys to join our team. If you love the idea of altruism mixed with fabulous art from all around the world you should definitely consider becoming a part of our fabulous team.
