Jenny Perez, Old No. 77’s “Artist in Residency”, will be wrapping up her month-long stay in New Orleans with an intimate bicycle ride presented by Beauty & Brawn. The ride will be curated and lead by Bike Easy representatives and take participants around the Arts District, with stops where the artist will speak to her art and her impression of New Orleans during her stay.

Join us in welcoming a visionary young artist to our city, basking in the impression our great city can leave on individuals, and experiencing a unique way to prepare for White Linen Night!

The ride will conclude with a talk with Chicago-based curators and producers Lindsey Meyers and Simone Garcia of Beauty & Brawn Gallery.

Tickets are available at $15 for anyone bringing their own bicycle, or $25 for those in need of a bicycle rental. A part of proceeds from all ticket sales go to benefit Bike Easy.
