Articulture

It's time to meet our wonderful contestants for Art to Table 2024!

"My name is Grover Hogan and I am a multimedia artist, teacher, and muralist. I create work and teach with the goal of connecting to those who may feel alone in their experiences and I do so through eye-catching colors, cultural imagery, and by sharing my own personal experiences.

Favorite Food: Yellowtail Tuna Sashimi
Favorite Artist: Félix González-Torres

I wanted to participate in Art to Table because I love a good cause and I love a good competition. It's like Ink Master but with better intentions. "

Thank you for providing us a "canvas" to create on 💙 Turbo Tim's Anything Automotive is amazing 😻

From ‘Cork Truck’ to ‘Garden-Rainbow-Space-Mushroom-Whatever’: The Minnesota ArtCars Parade Celebrates 30 Years In Minneapolis, children at Articulture’s ArtCar camp creatively transform a Toyota hatchback as part of a local tradition where art cars, decorated and driven daily, partake in a vibrant parade celebrating its 30th anniversary around Lake Harriet.

Since 2006, Articulture has participated in the annual Art Car parade in Minneapolis. Each summer, we organize an Art Car camp, where upper elementary students get together to work on a week-long project under supervision from our instructors to bring forth a unified and cohesive vision. This year, 12 kids collaborated together as a team to brainstorm the Art Car concept and implement it in real life (HUGE thank you to Turbo Tim's Anything Automotivefor providing us with a "canvas"!) What started as a "chaos car" + "rainbows in space" turned into a magical garden with a transition to outer space, a pond and a dripping rainbow. It was a fun experience!

Check out this article about Minnesota Art Cars from MPR. Happy to participate in this annual tradition!
