🚗✨ Ever wonder how a car ends up in an art gallery? Join us on this wild ride!⁠ ⁠ Clarke Bedford's Art Car is a showstopper in 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸: 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗮𝗿𝗱. This decked-out Volkswagen Beetle, usually part of his Vanadu Art House in Maryland, isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a testament to Bedford’s passion for found objects, the Victorian aesthetic of horror vacui, and his background as an artist, conservator, and scientist. Bedford describes his process as building a nest—a place made from found objects where he feels protected. His ever-evolving environment blurs the line between museum and home, gallery and driveway.⁠ ⁠ Don’t miss your chance to see this iconic ride up close in Philly! 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸: 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗮𝗿𝗱 is on view in our first-floor gallery until December 1. We're open Wednesday to Sunday, 12pm-6pm, and admission is always FREE! ✨
