art on track-- the buzz is on and rush hour quickly approaches.

yes indeed ladies and gentlemen, t-minus 18 days until the launch of art train 2010 and the buzz is on. our websites have had hits from domestic cities-- philadelphia, washington d.c., new york and los angles, as well as international cities-- london, madrid, rio de janeiro, and sydney. we have also been featured in several local and national blogs, as well as, garnered a shout out in a london based art blog. we are indeed nationwide and going global! 

the accidental gallery's participation this year has taken on a grander scope than ever before. as a three year veteran of art on track, we have ceased mere site specific installations, as in years past, and graduated to the curation of an entire car. the nature of our art show has taken on the very characteristics of transit travel. it is liquid, it is movement, is that of constant change. daily evolution and persistent flux of concept, aside, we have finalized our roster, refined our vision and commenced mulling over installation requirements.

we have also managed to recruit a selection uber-talented artists, and have complied a suitable gamut of artistic disciplines. 

artists among the likes of slang jones, ray nolan, and rodney wade fill out our roster, along with cta graphic artist joe nelson. also recently acquired are saic alumnae, isabella ng, and local artist of renown, ennis martin. these new additions join artists carolina i. reyes, karen gagich (co-curator) and pop murals to complete our line up. performance art, sound installation, a three dimensional site specific sculpture, high end design/marketing/branding art and traditional media will all be part of this year's car.

sorry kids, if you, aint onboard by now you'll have to wait until next year! our call for artists is officially closed.

we also have unprecedented documentation this year. the gallery would like to welcome photographer, melissa gin as our official documentarian and elysabeth alfano, host of the wttv show fear no art.

art on track, the world's largest mobile art gallery, will be circling the loop from 5 to 10 pm, saturday,  aug. 7. discounted, advanced sale tickets are still available on the aot website www.artontrack.com. enter promotional code: AoTFriend.
