Local Artist Donates Customized Helmet for ArtWalk Simsbury

Submitted release

Simsbury-artist Jeremy Jordan has painted a bike helmet with images from the science-fiction adventure film that starred Michael J. Fox and Christoper Lloyd. 

The bike helmet will be raffled off during ArtWalk Simsbury! on Saturday and all proceeds will go to the ABC House, where Jeremy lives as a resident tutor.   He used a Bell, BMX helmet and painted the face of "Doc Brown" (Lloyd) and the words: "Where we're going we don't need roads."  

Jordan, who is a painter and sculpture, said the helmet would be perfect for off-road biking.   Tickets will be $5 for 1 and $10 for 3 and can be purchased at the ABC House from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday, during ArtWalk Simsbury.  

The free event kicks-off at 11 a.m. on the grounds of the ABC House when the Simsbury Bike Sculpture will be unveiled by Simsbury metal-artist Vicente Garcia. Mrs. Cathy Malloy, Executive Director of the Greater Hartford Arts Council, is expected to be the headline speaker.  

ArtWalk Simsbury! will feature several indoor and outdoor venues along Hopmeadow Street, where visitors can enjoy exhibits, demonstrations and performances. Children's activities are scheduled throughout the day at Boy Scout Hall.
