Welcome to OPENSOURCE.
OPENSOURCE is an alternative art space accommodating a variety of non-traditional, community-oriented art projects and events within Champaign-Urbana, Illinois.
Art Bike Ride/Parade
OPENSOURCE Art is taking to the streets. Make yourself and your bike into moving artwork and travel through Champaign-Urbana during Boneyard Arts Festival. Paint your body, put streamers on your bike, make a float, construct a moving sculpture, pump up some music, whatever. All are welcome, the more the merrier! Artists, activists, poets, writers, etc. are encouraged to bring distributable work to pass out to the Boneyard crowd that will already be on the streets. Inspired by bicycle enthusiasm and activism as seen in events such as Critical Mass and World Naked Bike Ride, OPENSOURCE wants to mix art, bikes and parades to create an awesome art spectacle in Champaign-Urbana.

OPENSOURCE Art enters a new phase...
The building on Washington Street where we have been renting space has been sold. This means that OPENSOURCE Art is looking for a new home.
We anticipate several "transition" months while we look for the right space. During this time we will continue to meet regularly and may host events at venues around town. We welcome all suggestions for potential new homes so keep your eyes peeled for a space that you think could be a good fit for OPENSOURCE. We'll be sure to keep you posted on the progress of the move. In the meantime, we are planning some awesome events so stay tuned!
