COLUMBUS, Ohio — A business in central Ohio gives the opportunity to participate in teamwork while creating unique works of art.

What You Need To Know

  • Bicycle Spin Art is in the basement of Axe Throwing LLC

  • One person pedals the bike while another creates the design and constantly adjusts colors to their liking

  • A typical session at Bicycle Spin Art could last more than one hour

“We have seen some gorgeous masterpieces. I actually love this one so much, I bought it from a nine-year-old,” said Marty Parker, owner of Bicycle Spin Art, and president of Bucket List Productions. 

Besides owning Axe Throwing LLC, he’s started a new venture in the building's basement, another interactive entertainment venture called Bicycle Spin Art. 

“Regardless if it’s a mud run, a color run, a tomato fight or an escape room, a bubble truck or a massage chair bus or axe throwing, or Spin Art, which we just came out with, it’s all the same product, which is a date to put on the calendar that’s going to inspire and motivate you to go do something and then share it with your friends,” said Parker. 

After a quick pep talk about strategy, each team sets up at a station. 

One person pedaling the bike, another creating the design and constantly adjusting colors to their liking, then they rotate.  

A typical session at Bicycle Spin Art could last more than one hour. 

“Like if you’re going really fast, sometimes it will splatter a different way, and if you’re going slow and just kind of experimenting on it,” said Emma Johnson, a customer from Johnstown. “And then I started pouring more and more paint and it just got out of control. And if now you can see it’s almost like a 3-D painting, it’s so cool.”

Parker said he continues to get a kick out of the new techniques visitors used to create art. 

He said besides being lots of fun, it’s a great team-building exercise. Parker looks forward to what the future brings. 

“We do have a booming art scene here in Columbus and we really think this is a massive compliment to that. Because a lot of people go and they’re in the art scene, but are they in the art scene? Here they can be,” said Parker. “The director of operations she suggested we have art nights where we do have exhibits of what people have done. You’re drinking your wine and you’re participating in an exhibit, also making the art. And that’s the part that’s the most exciting.”

Bicycle Spin Art is at 560 S. High St. in Columbus and is open Friday through Sunday. 

There are also plans to open up locations in Cleveland and Cincinnati.
