Seattle Art Cars is a loose coalition of people who make and own Art Cars and live in the greater Seattle
area. Here are photos of some of their off-beat creations from the years 1996-2003.
Seattle's art cars are visible on highways and
byways, where everyone can see them every day, not closeted in obscure art galleries. Nationwide, the Art Car Movement has come into its own, while locally, Seattle has
become a leading center of this innovative art movement, hosting the nation's
third largest art car festival each June.
Darlings of the media, art cars have been featured many times on local and national TV, in newspapers and magazines, in underground films and books and, in 2001, on Good Morning America. In 2002 ArtCars were the feature of a much-ballyhooed show at the Peterson Museum of Automotive Art in Los Angeles; that same year Harrod Blank's definitive picture book Art Cars made its appearance. An art form that refuses to take itself too seriously, "Cartistry" is on its way to being an enduring hit with the public.
