Houston’s Iconic Art Car Museum Closing April 28th, 2024
Houston’s nationally renowned Art Car Museum will be closing on Heights Boulevard in late April 2024. Under current plans, the last day the museum will be open to the public is April 28th, 2024.
Founded by Ann Harithas in 1998, the Art Car Museum opened to national fanfare with its audacious profile designed by artist David Best. Soon after opening, it was featured in national newspapers and publications, and has since become a must-see item on tourist itineraries in the Houston area. For more than 25 years the museum has showcased works from both local and international artists. It has provided a showcase for the art car collection of Ann Harithas and the wider US and worldwide art car community, and it has participated in broad community-based events such as Houston’s Art Car Parade, and the FotoFest Biennial.
Discussions are in progress with local and regional arts organizations to continue and evolve the Art Car Museum’s presence, legacy, and mission in the future. The details of those discussions and plans will be shared further as and when they take shape.
