ArtCar Open Car for Artists and the Curious 5-17-14

Painted Panel by Midge Hyde

Are you interested in art, protest art, and/or art painted right on a car? Are you an artist with something to say? What if you just want to see what a rolling protest of General Motors looks like?

If you are any of these people -- or anybody else -- you are invited to a free ArtCar Open Car Sat. May 17 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  The ArtCar Open Car is the best way to learn how and why we're protesting General Motors' late recall of a certain 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt.  Partial answer: We're turning a regular Chevy Cobalt into the DeathTrapArtCar!

Lizzie claims her door.

The ArtCar Open Car will feature the partially transformed car and the artists who are making protest art on it. Some of them might be painting right on the car!  The ArtCar Open Car takes place at On The Edge Art Gallery, 7317 El Cajon Boulevard, La Mesa, CA 91942. -see the map- 

Come take a look at the DeathTrapArtCar and, if you are an artist, claim a panel on which to paint your protest!  The photo below shows who's claimed what, and what's still available. Please join us at On The Edge Art Gallery, on May 17th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We look forward to meeting you!

Here's what's available:
