Special Delivery! Papergirl returns to Cardiff!


Following the success of Papergirl Cardiff in June we are very pleased to announce the return of Papergirl in 2012.

At the June event this year more than 300 pieces of artwork were distributed to surprised, bemused and delighted Cardiffians by a cavalcade of cyclists during an hour long cycle through the city.

In anticipation of next year’s event we are now asking people to start submitting their original artwork.  We hope that by putting the call out early it will give more people the opportunity to submit work, resulting in more people receiving free artwork and a bigger and longer cycling event.  All submitted artwork will be exhibited for a week before being packaged up and distributed by a team of volunteers.
 

If you would like to submit artwork for Papergirl Cardiff 2012, or are interested in getting involved please get in touch!

Artwork can be submitted to the Cycle Training Wales office, 8 Museum Place, Cardiff CF10 3BG, or posted to Papergirl Cardiff, 20 Howard St, Splott, Cardiff, CF24 2AX. 

Other drop off points will be added at later dates, so keep checking the blog for updates.
