“Your Car as Canvas”

Observe the transformation of ordinary cars into not-so-ordinary "Daily Driver" Art Cars. Minnesota artists Kat Corrigan and Jan Elftmann team up with artist Erika Nelson from Lucas, KS. "Holey Circle" is Jan's art-car-in-progress and reflects the Glue-Car approach of attaching multiple objects to create an all-over embellished car. All attached objects relate to the circle. A second car, provided by an enthusiastic community member, will be transformed into a painted and quite un-ordinary art car. You are invited to observe the careful development and transformation of these cars. Both cars will be in progress from Wednesday through Sunday of Festival week.
