About
Outreach Program: The Art Car Parade, introduced in 1988, has become a signature Houston event with a live audience of more than 250,000. More than 250 artists parade their wheeled creations for awed onlookers in a celebration of the ubiquitous automobile that turns Houston's streets into an open-air museum. The Houston Art Car Parade has generated press in Der Spiegel, Smithsonian, Vanity Fair, and Autoweek, with extensive feature stories in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Detroit Free Press, and USA Today, along with internationl coverage. It is the oldest and largest art car program and one of the largest public art events in the country, allowing people of every age and from every neighborhood to create and celebrate works of art using the car literally as a vehicle for self-expression. Free Art Car Workshops for all ages are offered in the months leading up to the parade where attendees learn how to create art cars from previous artists. In addition, area schools offer art car classes to create mobile masterpieces and over 30 schools and youth organizations participate in the parade.
