JUST ANNONUNCED - An Interactive Art Car Build Sponsored by HEYA

Hello Friends of Maker Faire - here’s your chance to get involved in a fun, collaborative art car build. HEYA and art car expert Harrod Blank will be hosting an interactive Art Car Build throughout the weekend and Maker Faire attendees will have the opportunity to take part in the creation.

To pay homage to Austin’s musical roots, guests can help transform a Toyota Matrix into a music-themed piece of art celebrating musical heroes. The art car is going to be featuring images from album covers, sheet music, photos, guitar picks, and more. We are looking for your donations – get creative and bring that box of old music memorabilia to the HEYA Activity Pavilion and join the fun!

See the following list for ideas of items we are looking for but anything related to music and your music heroes is great.

Get involved, get creative and bring some music Heroes memorabilia to attach to the Toyota Matrix art car build. Clean out those closets and help recycle some great music history! Help participate in a unique activity and work with “THE” art car guru Harrod Blank. We’ve provided a list to help stir the creative juices but by no means should this limit your imagination. Bring as much as you want – we do have an entire car to try and cover in just two short days!

Frames – old, decorated or not
Pictures of your Music Heroes – Color or Black and White

The best ideas will come from you – surprise us with your creativity – bring anything related to one of your Music Heroes that can be attached to the HEYA Toyota art car and be part of the art car phenomenon during the Maker Faire weekend!

And, Harrod has assembled a great collection of Art Cars for you to check out to. In addition to the Camera Van and Toybota, you will also be able to see Yarn Car, Daisy Singer, Roachster, Brickmobile and Sterotype 1.

See you at Maker Faire!
