Art Car Museum

The Art Car Museum is a private institution dedicated to contemporary art. It is an exhibition forum for local,national and international artists with an emphasis on art cars, other fine arts and artists that are rarely, if ever, acknowledged by other cultural institutions. The museum’s goal is to encourage the public’s awareness of the cultural, political, economic and personal dimensions of art. The Art Car Museum, or “Garage Mahal” as many know it, opened in February 1998. It was founded as a not-for-profit arts organization by Ann Harithas, artist and long-time supporter of the Art Car movement, and James Harithas, currently Director of the Station Museum of Contemporary Art, Houston, Texas.

Brian Zievert’s paintings are a chronicle to the expansive construction of Houston. Brian’s “trademark” oblong canvases are painted on site, with his palette of earth tones, capturing cityscapes with industrial sunsets.

Growing up in Croatia, Danilo Stampalija was inspired at an early age by the beautiful Croatian Adriatic coast. His uncle, an accomplished watercolorist, saw his nephew’s enthusiasm for learning to paint and became his mentor. Continuing to paint throughout his entire life, Stampalija has developed a watercolor style that verges on the abstract.

The Works of Brian Zievert and Danilo Stampalija will be on view, October 17, 2020 during our regular Saturday Hours: 11 am – 6 pm, (by appointment only) at the Art Car Museum, 140 Heights Blvd. – Houston, TX 77007
