On Saturday, October 21st, from 7-10PM, the Art Car Museum will host the opening of an exhibition by artist, museum founder, and cultural phenomenon Ann Harithas. The exhibition, The Creative Era of Ann Harithas is an in-depth retrospective of the many ways Harithas’s creative vision manifested itself over the course of the 20th and 21st centuries.

This exhibition travels to the Art Car Museum from Five Points Museum of Contemporary Art in Victoria, Texas. Originally curated by Maurice Roberts for Five Points Museum, the installation at the Art Car Museum will be uniquely adapted to the space originally founded by Ann and James Harithas.

The Creative Era of Ann Harithas is both a retrospective of the acclaimed collage artist’s body of work, and a tribute to what is truly an era of creativity ignited by Harithas.

This exhibition will focus on the extensive body of collage works created by Harithas from the 1980s to the 2010s, as well as her own art car creations and those she commissioned and collected. The exhibition will also consider this work in the context of her contributions to the artistic communities in Houston, Victoria, and points beyond such as New York and California.

The art and collage work of Ann Harithas was born of the natural state of her creativity, and its purest manifestation was found in the intimate and revelatory collages that she crafted by hand. In concert with her personal art, however, she also curated innovative exhibitions and brought both independent and world-famous artists together to catalyze collaboration into a unique creative vision. This vision has helped lift and transform artists and society – her effect upon the world became a creative era, one that would have been unreachable without her dedication and support.

The opening reception will be held October 21 from 7-10pm. Reservations are not required.

Admission at the museum is always free.
