Take an open-air art tour to see and learn about works downtown.

Kick up your heels and explore art on three wheels. Sparky’s Rickshaw Co. is offering art tours on Saturday, Oct. 7 to raise money for WSNC Mural Project.

The rickshaw will be waiting for riders at Fiddlin’ Fish Brewing on Trade Street beginning at 12 p.m. Two to three riders at a time can take the tour. The driver will share information about multiple murals and street art around Liberty and Trade Streets during the 10-minute ride. Rides will be available until 4 p.m.

The tour is free but a minimum donation of $10 per rider is suggested. Proceeds will support artists and fund mural projects around Winston-Salem.
