Lansdale Bike Night (day)

Lansdale's annual Bike Night was a rain out, but the rain date proved to be an awesome day for art walking.  This was the largest event the Art Walkers have done in 2012.  The girls took their newly fashioned trays out in the streets and promoted the Horror Themed Tell Tale Art Show in Lansdale on October 5th.  

Amy Rims was out painting her take on the motorcycles that were on display. Rims sold raffle tickets for $1 for the chance to win the painting.

I have been to a few bike nights, but this has to be one of the largest Bike Nights in the area.  The streets of Lansdale are completely shut down and the bikes roam free.  Vendors from all over the country came out to sell their wares to the eager crowd.

Amy Rims' Art  & Music Walk was held August 17th &18th  throughout the town of Lansdale.  As part of the Art Walk Amy chose the Farmer's Market to display her work and also capture the morning in a live painting.

Megan Rims went to work early on walking the streets and selling art.  The people who came to shop local enjoyed the personal touch of the art walking. 

Photographers Ron Evans and Greg Gardner  managed to make an early wake up after the late night before to set up along Green Street  in front of  North Penn Community Acupuncture

The morning went fantastic for Art and the Art Walkers.  It was just the middle of the Art Walk Weekend and more Art needed to happen.  .

Amy and Megan make art walking  plans for the Folk Fest.

Amy's Art Walkers were out in full force for the Philadelphia Folk Fest in 2012.  Held in Schwenksville, Pa, "The Fest" as it is known locally draws fans from all over the world for a weekend of camping and folk music.  

While the rest of the crew ventured through the concert grounds, parking lots and huge camping field, Amy Rims and sister Megan  took a unique opportunity to get the art out to the festing crowds.   They both chose to walk down the Perkiomen Trail.  This "Rails to Trails" project runs along the folk festival grounds along the Perkiomen creek.  Although the idea of selling artwork to folks on a trail might seem odd, it's a perfect for art walking challenge for Amy and Megan.  

Walking Art out to the fringes of the Folk Fest proved to be another success for Amy's Art Walkers.  Everyone loves seeing the girls in costume and the attention grabs people's focus and a smile.  Art walkers walking down a wooded bike trail are guaranteed to get attention, Megan and Amy posed for many pictures along the way.  


Taking the art to the fest was an overwhelming success because of the mix of people.   The fest brings out young and old, rich and poor and everyone in between and everyone enjoys the site of the art walkers.  The added fact of blazing the trail, which turned more than a few heads (actually, it turned all heads, some twice), brought the art sales to an extreme level.   

Amy and Megan celebrated their success by hanging out at Joe's Spring Mount Hotel and meeting new folks and bringing the art to them.
