Every once in a while you see one: a vehicle so decorated with paint and improbable objects as to earn the name “art car.” The Mendocino Art Center says that these cars are literally vehicles for bringing art into the world and will be displaying a variety of them at its California ArtCar Bizarre event. Held in conjunction with Larry Fuente’s New World Hoarder exhibition at the center, the free show of whimsical wheels will be presented on September 8, noon–5 p.m., at Heider Field, on the corner of Little Lake and Ford Streets in Mendocino.
