The cars in this exhibit were all made by artists considered \u201cBest in Show\u201d at national competitions, and display a wide variety of origin and techniques, including made from scratch creations by Mark \u201cScrapdaddy\u201d Bradford and the whimsically aggressive \u201cRex Rabbit\u201d by<br>California artist Larry Fuente. Also on view will be the lush assemblage of David Best, and the exquisite<br>detail of Corpus Christi\u2019s Leal Brothers, as well as two Cadillacs of different vintages and styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surrounding the cars will be a multimedia display featuring photographs from Art Car Parades throughout the years in both Houston and Victoria created by media curator Russell Fowler. In the photos, visitors will get a chance to see many art cars that no longer exist, in their parade-ready glory.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the run of the exhibition, visitors may also get to witness real-time restoration of the art cars on<br>display, including paint touch-ups, re-gluing of pieces, and other work necessary to keep art cars looking<br>their best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Five Points Museum<br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ann Harithas founded Five Points Museum of Contemporary Art to give the Victoria and South<br>Texas&nbsp;community broad access to contemporary art by national and regional artists,&nbsp;while celebrating<br>and drawing upon the cultural diversity of South Texas.
