2015 Seattle Art Car Blowout

We formed in 1998 to be part of the ‘Arts Edge’ at the Seattle Center, displaying 28 ArtCars as part of the alternative Arts Festival. The following year we moved our rolling exhibit to the world-famous Fremont Fair, where up to 75 decorated cars are on view for 2 days in mid-June every year to over 100,000 visitors.
We welcome any and all modified vehicles to appear with us throughout the year at various fairs, children’s schools and neighborhood functions.  Our year culminates in the  ‘Seattle Art Car Blowout’ at the Fremont Fair,  every year, on Solstice weekend.

The automobiles come from all over the US and Canada to participate. We raise funds throughout the year in order to host the out-of-towner car artists. We work to feed and house them during the weekend and reimburse their gas expenses for travel.

Art Cars often caravan in groups to festivals and parades across the country,  notably Minneapolis, Houston and the Bay area.  The Art Cars liven up the highways in the process. Art Car events are cropping up all over the America, in one of the fastest burgeoning public art movements.

We are a 100% volunteer-operated event and all of our funds go toward event production and support expenses.

Seattle Art Cars is a 501(c)(3) organization and donations are tax deductable. The funds go to Tim Klein who is our Volunteer Treasurer.
