Galleries and Gears

Galleries and Gears

Saturday, 4 October, 11:00 am – 3:00 p.m. | PWYC
Departure/return: Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery

Join us for a unique cultural adventure combining art appreciation with cycling on the region’s gold standard bike infrastructure! Galleries and Gears is a free event, however, we encourage participants to donate to COMPASS Refugee Centre or the Social Development Centre who will be hosting their annual Ride For Refuge fundraisers that day too.

This guided cycling tour visits four exceptional galleries in one memorable day with support from CycleWR. Our leisurely-paced rides between galleries allow plenty of time to appreciate each collection while showcasing why Waterloo region leads in both arts and cycling infrastructure. Expert marshals from Cycle WR will take you on a memorable cycling gallery tour discussing the exhibition themes of displacement, housing, cultural heritage, and environmental sustainability.

Starting at the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery (KWAG), we’ll cycle through the region’s acclaimed bike paths to explore:
The Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery
The Grebel Gallery
University of Waterloo Art Gallery
