Brian Goggin estimates that it will take approximately $75,000 to restore the work today, and we are hoping to raise the money entirely through donation. While the money is being raised, Goggin and his team of volunteers have begun to restore [...]
“I ride real fast baby, I don’t ride slow…” is the opening line of Will Manville’s bio. His love for bicycles are shown through his courageous use of lithograph, screen print, and monotype. Every time we pass by Will’s pieces, we start singing “I want to ride my bicycle. I want to ride my bike” [...]
