Pedals and Portraits

Pedals & Portraits is a pop-up art experience that brings free live portrait drawing to mobility events like CicLAvia. Our goal is to create memorable moments that celebrate how we move through the city, connecting art, community, and mobility. Whether you roll, ride, or stroll, stop by for a portrait and be part of a growing movement that reimagines our streets through creativity and connection.
‍
By activating open streets with art, Pedals & Portraits is also a form of street reclamation; transforming public space into places of joy, expression, and collective memory. We believe that community envisionment is essential to shaping the future of our streets, and every portrait is a small act of imagining who belongs in these spaces and how they can serve us all better.
