Art Car Museum

The Art Car Museum is a private institution dedicated to contemporary art. It is an exhibition forum for local,national and international artists with an emphasis on art cars, other fine arts and artists that are rarely, if ever, acknowledged by other cultural institutions. The museum’s goal is to encourage the public’s awareness of the cultural, political, economic and personal dimensions of art. The Art Car Museum, or “Garage Mahal” as many know it, opened in February 1998. It was founded as a not-for-profit arts organization by Ann Harithas, artist and long-time supporter of the Art Car movement, and James Harithas, currently Director of the Station Museum of Contemporary Art, Houston, Texas.

14th Annual Open Call Exhibition:
LANDSCAPE

Opening: Saturday, December 7, 2019 from 7:00 – 10:00 pm
Exhibition runs through February 23, 2020

Ann and James Harithas and The Art Car Museum are proud to announce the opening of the 14th Annual Open Call Exhibition: LANDSCAPE.

This annual, free and un-juried exhibition was open to the first 100 artists to register on a single designated day. If they were among the first 100, they were included in the show.

The theme is announced in the summer allowing the artists a few months to create a piece for the exhibit. This year the theme is LANDSCAPE. With 100 artists, one is sure to find as many different perspectives, media and techniques. The Art Car Museum provides this opportunity for artists to show their artwork in our internationally known, destination museum.

This year we wanted to focus on the LANDSCAPE theme to show the contemporary artists’ interpretation of this classic genre.

The Open Call show is always highly anticipated by the art community and community at large. In the past thirteen year’s Open Call Exhibitions, the museum has enjoyed the privilege of showing the works of contemporary artists from Houston and around the nation.
