Queen City Art Racks

Queen City Art Racks is an ongoing initiative to bring artist-designed, functional bike racks to public spaces throughout Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. In the process it engages community stakeholders, employs professional artists and strengthens the region’s transportation options by creating awareness around bicycle parking.

Since it's launch in the spring of 2010, Queen City Art Racks has created 14 opportunities for artists. We have installed racks downtown and in Clifton and are excited about upcoming installations in Hyde Park, Northside, Walnut Hills, Price Hill and many more throughout the downtown and Over-the-Rhine area. Look for new racks to hit the ground in the spring of 2012.

The above rack was created by Bob Dyehouse in partnerhip with the Clifton Clutural Art Center.
