Cars covered in jewels!

Fur-covered cars!

Cars that look like they’re fire-breathing!

And over-the-top slab cars!

They’re not just cars, but Art-On-Wheels. And you’ll see hundreds of them at the 35th annual Houston Art Car Parade tomorrow – the first parade since the pandemic!

Houston has been at the forefront of art car culture for decades, and today we celebrate the art form and its ties to our city.

Art car artists, historians, and parade organizers from the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art join us to preview the parade and talk about all-things Art Car.
