Last week on August 12, Kate Pearson brought in Love 23 from Bisbee. We were going to have several parties of visitors so I decided it was a good time to rearrange the art cars, spreading them out more and then adding about 10 more lights. It is much more like a museum now though obviously it has a long ways to go. 6 of the art cars are on tour and they will be coming back here sometime in early to mid December.
Today we’re getting a lot of interest in the museum and people actually wanting to visit due to today’s cover page article on MSN written by Claire Martin.
We currently have 18 vehicles, including the most recent to land here, the “Land Yacht,” by Eric Lamb! 6 of the vehicles are on tour for the remainder of the year with the new film I spent 13 years making, “Automorphosis” Thus the museum progress will be a little slower this year. I am hoping to work on another 16 feet of the roof this winter. We are currently half way done with the new roof. After that gets done likely end of 2010, we will begin work on the floor and the design work. It will take at least a few more years to complete, and this will depend on how much money we can raise.
If you want to make an appointment to visit, try back in the winter since we will be touring with the film through November to raise awareness. The film does end with the Art Car World Museum so it will be getting the word out.
We have done a lot since 2005, but we still have a ways to go!
Thanks for your interest
Here’s what Art Car World looked like in the very beginning. As you can see there are 8 art cars all of which are under the 1/3rd good roof which we spent over a month building. The dirt floors and the lighting will be improved over time as will the overall design. It will be fun to see the progress.
