    ROLL 2007 picks up the pace The Smokebrush Foundation for the Arts and freehub.us are proud to present Colorado Springs' 3rd Annual Bike Art Show. Formerly known as the All Dimensions Bicycle Art Show, the exhibit of Bicycle Art is back, now as ROLL 2007, for an extended showing of 6 weeks including two First Friday Art Walk Receptions from 5-8 pm on July 6th and August 3rd. The show runs July 6 - August 11, 2007 at Smokebrush Gallery, which is located under the Colorado Avenue Bridge in the Depot Arts District of Colorado Springs, at 218 W. Colorado Avenue, Suite 102. For directions, go to www.smokebrush.org. Favorite artists such as Taliah Lempert and John & Jennifer Ellis will be returning this year, and many new artists will be featured, including Canadian Sculptor David McCelvey and local photographer Holly Conlon. Be sure not to miss the Fourth of July Bike and the Santa Claus bike, courtesy of Steve Stevens of the Colorado Bicycle History Museum in Golden, Colorado. New for this year is the "108 Prayer Wheels for Peace" project. This community-based project began with the donation of used bicycle rims. Guided by Mary Beth Hamilton of Children's ARK, students in the nearby town of Green Mountain Falls produced wheels with themes of peace as a art of their Spring curriculum. The remaining 30 wheels were created by local youth at the Pikes Peak Arts Festival under the direction of Amber Cote and the kids of FutureSelf. The wheels will be fitted into a sculptural framework crafted by Tim Eckert, who created Smokebrush's Giant Driving Toaster, and the final piece, a kinetic sculpture celebrating art, collaboration, peace, and the environment, will be installed on the roof of Smokebrush Gallery. "108 Prayer Wheels for Peace" will be unveiled at the July 6 opening. The band "mumbo-jumbo" will perform on July 6 and Ray de Mers will perform on his mandolin August 3. "mumbo-jumbo," currently on tour in NY and Washington DC, features Michelle Webb and Joe Seltzer with fusion dub jazz. Listen online at Drum Academy USA returns in 2007 to present soloists, a duet and a quintet on July 6 and Aug 3. Beverages will be provided by Bristol Brewing Company. ROLL 2007 is a fundraising event and last year we raised $400 for Medicine Wheel Trail Group, contributing to the new Freeride Park in Red Rock Canyon State Park! ROLL 2007 will wind down with a closing party on August 3 with popular local band Head Full of Zombies, from 9 pm - 2 am at the Ritz. ROLL 2007 will celebrate the first annual Pikes Peak Classic race, pikespeakclassic.com, Colorado Springs' first organized Century Ride, as it closes on August 11.
