More reasons to believe that cars are not only works of art in themselves, but a legitimate subject for artists who might normally not give a hoot about the beauty of industrially-wrought movement.<\/p>\n

Walk the Plank\u2019s illuminated Art Car Parades took over Manchester\u2019s streets last Thursday (26th) and in Edinburgh on Saturday the 28th November.<\/p>\n

Ben Wilson<\/a> was one of three artists to be awarded commissioning money to create a mobile work of art, which joined the existing troupe of vehicles.<\/p>\n

Ben’s ARTIKCAR (below) is inspired by a child\u2019s wooden toy car. The Pedal Powered vehicle is made from steel tubing, it steers by leaning and uses an innovative technology to illuminate the car.<\/p>\n

The illuminated Art Car Parades have been created and produced by outdoor arts specialists Walk the Plank <\/a> Supported by Art Council England and will be presented in association with Manchester City Council and Edinburgh\u2019s Homecoming celebrations.<\/p>\n
