=, ***Description
painted - 1st 2023 - doing the most good with art---- A cosmic spectacle on wheels, this art car transforms the streets of Houston into a moving celebration of the universe. Created by artist Zach Murray in collaboration with UP Art Studio, the design showcases some of the most recent captures of deep space and nebulas, featuring the Sombrero Galaxy, the towering Pillars of Creation, and a brilliantly recorded supernova—one of the most stunning ever seen.
More than just an artistic tribute, this car serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring discoveries made possible through space exploration. At a time when funding for scientific research and space imaging is being cut, this project puts the wonders of the cosmos on full display, inspiring curiosity and reminding us of the infinite possibilities that exist beyond our world.
And what better place to celebrate the stars than Houston—Space City itself? From NASA’s legacy to the spirit of innovation that fuels this city, this art car is a rolling testament to the beauty of discovery, the power of imagination, and the endless mysteries waiting to be explored.---- We are UP Art Studio—a team of public art creatives! We are passionate about harnessing the power of murals, public art, and creative placemaking to uplift communities, especially in underserved areas.
With our team, we are bringing this rolling artwork to life! We have always loved the illuminated crawls, so this car will include a lighting component.
We met during Art Car over 20 years ago, and Art Car Week is a holiday for us! We love Art Car!
