Impromptu discussions about art and life in general crop up anywhere crowds gather around the Bus, from rest areas off the New Jersey Turnpike to arts festivals and car shows. Art can be anything. It doesn't necessarily have to be hanging on a wall in a frame, or locked in a glass case. Art cars are very interesting phenomena. They bring unexpected whimsy to everyday places and leave behind a cheerful impression.
Art cars are conversation-starters.
People who ordinarily wouldn't feel comfortable striking up a discussion in a grocery store parking lot are excited to do so with art car drivers. Art cars challenge people to step out of the boundaries of social convention. They also encourage individuals to take notice of their surroundings, and consider new ways to enhance them. The FREE LOOP's mission is to make art a positive, accessible experience for everyone, and to encourage communication, idea-sharing, and inspiration. No formal education or special training is necessary, only the ability to be inspired, which is inherent in every human being.
