Art Wheelers
It’s a beautiful world out there. And our “Art Wheelers” web series lets you explore some of the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys’ most amazing artistic destinations – all from the comfort of your own video screen!
In each episode, hosts Matt and Destiny hop on Foothill Transit buses to find out how easy and inspiring it can be to visit places like museums, galleries, studios, murals, sculptures, supply stores, and art classes, especially when you don’t have to fight traffic or find parking.
Who knew there was so much art just steps away from a bus stop?
Check out all the colorful places we’ve already toured in the videos below, find more artistic trip ideas in our latest Bus Book, and be sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to see new episodes as soon as they’re posted!
