ArtCar Fest, founded in 1997 by Philo Northrup and Harrod Blank, is a vibrant celebration of ArtCars—vehicles that artists have permanently transformed into unique works of art. This annual festival showcases the creativity of both new and returning artists, bringing their imaginative alterations to the public at various events throughout the Bay Area.

The festival emphasizes the everyday presence of art, as these vehicles are not merely display pieces but are driven in daily life, merging artistry with functionality. Managed by a team of local ArtCar artists, ArtCar Fest aims to share a coherent vision of ArtCars as a dynamic and accessible medium for artistic expression.
