Pedal To The Metal
Pedal to the Metal is a bike culture-inspired art installation with a real-world, practical application. More than two dozen local artists submitted their portfolios to the Pedal to the Metal: PHX Bike Rack Project, which was spearheaded by the Downtown Phoenix Partnership, Artlink, the City of Phoenix’s Street Transportation Department and Office of Arts and Culture in December 2017. Designs by Jennyfer Stratman and Allen Wang were selected to move onto the fabrication stage in the spring of 2018, and those racks can now be seen throughout the downtown core. The design by Jennyfer Stratman features a yellow honeycomb pattern, symbolizing the community, connectivity and creativity found in an urban area. Inspired by the natural beauty of downtown’s surroundings, Allen Wang’s circular, copper-colored design includes cutouts of local Phoenix mountain ranges.
