3. ARTCAR FEST IN RENO, NV – 7.20-21.12
ART CAR FEST July 20 and 21 st in RENO, NV
ArtCar Fest is taking a road trip to Reno and needs your support!
ArtCar Fest is an all-volunteer, artist-run event, 100% reliant on donations.
Please go to our IndieGoGo site and donate NOW!
ArtCar Fest was founded by Philo Northrup, Harrod Blank 16 years ago in San Francisco, and is directed by Emily Duffy. All of us are ArtCar artists.
Every year we bring ArtCars to schools, hospitals and museums all over the West. This year two world-class museums have invited us to Nevada to exhibit the shared history of ArtCars, Burning Man and Reno.
The National Automobile Museum in Reno, one of the best in the world, has invited us to bring ArtCars to the Friday night closing party of “Mutant Rides” on July 25th, a show about the vehicles of Burning Man. Harrod Blank, Filmmaker & ArtCar Fest Co-Founder, curated this exhibition of Mutant Vehicles and ArtCars from the Playa.
Additionally, as part of the road trip, ArtCar Fest will also be exhibiting at Reno’s Nevada Museum of Art , internationally known for integrating contemporary art and the environment. On July 20th at 2pm on Saturday the Museum will present Harrod Blank’s award-winning documentary about ArtCars, “Automorphosis.”
ArtCars bring radical, free expression to the world 365 days per year!
It’s up to us to help the artists cover their food, fuel and lodging costs.
We have some great swag to share with our supporters - previously these items were only available to the ArtCar artists themselves.
We hope you join us in supporting these artists who do so much all year long to bring joy to your commuter lanes!
Thank you! And Hope to see you in Reno July 20th & 21st !!
