    Art Car Museum


    Comment on Facebook

    The ArtCar Museum is a private museum of contemporary art located. The museum, nicknamed the "Garage Mahal," opened in February, 1988. Its emphasis is on art cars, fine arts, and artists that are rarely seen in other cultural institutions. The museum's mission is to elevate awareness of the political, economic, and personal dimensions of art.

    The museum was founded by Ann Harithas, artist and long-time supporter of the Art Car movement, and James Harithas, former director of the Corcoran Museum, Washington, D.C., the Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, New York, the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, Texas, and current director of the Station Museum, Houston, Texas.

    The museum showroom celebrates the spirit of this post-modern age of car-culture, in which artists have remolded stock cars to the specifications of their own idiosyncratic images and visions. The museum features elaborate art cars, lowriders, and mobile contraptions, as well as exhibitions by local, national, and international artists.
