One of the residents urban street artists involved with the organising of the 'Bring Your Own Art' exhibitions is aiming to raise funds for Book-Cycle. 'Sandy' will be cycling, swimming and running a route of 26 miles hoping to gain sponsorship and pledges from the general public over the weeks leading up to the event.

 

The warehouse which Book-Cycle use mainly for storing the thousands of books that have been saved from landfill also doubles as a free art space for many local artists. It has hosted a number of unique exhibitions providing a platform for upcoming artists to showcase their work. The local Council are subjecting Book-Cycle to a substantial business rates bill which, due to the nature in which we generate funds, would stifle our activities on the whole.
