Art Workshops at BICAS
We periodically host art workshops at BICAS! These workshops are different from our weekly Crafternoons, in that they are paid classes which focus on a specific skill or medium. We also collaborate with other artists for workshops!

Bike Books
Come join a poetry workshop–zine incubator–evening spent writing with friends facilitated by Nellie Papsdorf and hosted by BICAS. Practice writing, zine-making, and mixed media art fun. Prepare for guerilla publication in the fight against boring publishing industry monopolies.
Write bike odes. Write records, poems, comics, recipes. Write whatever you want, make a bunch of copies the next day surreptitiously using your office’s printer, and spread the love at Tucson Zine Fest a few days later.
$0-30, NOTAFLOF. All proceeds split between BICAS and Read Between the Bars.
Teacher: Nellie

We are seeking teaching artists!
Teaching artists of any experience level are welcome to apply, from first-time teachers to seasoned instructors. We are interested in all kinds of art (with a preference for the bicycle inspired!), so long as the workshop remains in line with our mission of accessibility to the arts!
