About the event

Tour de Art: The Janine & Jay Earney Memorial Bike Ride & Art Show is a fundraiser dedicated to bringing a family-friendly outdoor bike ride and local art show to Crittenden County. Riders will have the option of a 5-mile, 25-mile or 60-mile route and there will also be a Kids Fun Bike, Trike or Hike route. All rides begin at the historic Marion Courthouse Square.


The event is created in memory of Janine and Jay Earney, who were passionate supporters of the arts and youth sports in Crittenden County and the Mid-South. Janine was the long-time and dynamic Executive Director at DeltaARTS (formerly Crittenden Arts Council) and Jay, an avid cyclist, owned Country Squire, a sporting goods store which was a staple in West Memphis.


Sponsorships are available by emailing Renee Rainey at rrainey@deltaarts.org.
