Art Car Parade

Sorry, it’s been a while since my last update. We’ve been quite busy here in Houston; so let me give a little update on what’s been going on. The second weekend in May, a few of us went to the Houston Art Car Parade. This event has been going on for 22 years and is a proud display of art. Parade entries include anything on wheels from unicycles to lawnmowers to cars, and are made by members of the general public as well as recognized artists. Community groups, public and private schools, and professional organizations have become regular participants. The Art Car Parade is a true public art event, created by the people and for the people. There is no pre-selection process, no juried selection of entries - everyone who makes a decorated, augmented or otherwise decked-out wheeled vehicle can be a participant. This year there were over 200 participants. Each wheeled vehicle has a number which viewers can text and vote for the winner. The cars were pretty amazing and I’ve posted some photos of my favorites.

Paz,
