The Art Car Museum has something special in store for Houstonians from March 26-29 with the premiere of the To Inhabit series in conjunction with FotoFest 2016. This three-part exhibition features photography from Mark Chen, Irvin Tepper and Ken Watkins. All three photographers bring something special to the art showcase, giving light to the different aspects of automobile inspiration, environmental scenarios and appreciation of downtown Houston’s transformation over the past years.

Mark Chen, a known activist and photographer, brings together photography and video to highlight the environmental factors that often go unnoticed. Through lenticular prints, which provide three different artistic viewpoints, you’ll be able to take in an environmental scene as it is in the present, the disastrous events that could take place in the future and also and eco-friendly alternative solution.

Irvin Tepper, on the other hand, draws inspiration from the classic low riders of Corpus Christi to create a beautiful gallery of photography featuring custom engines, beautifully decorated upholstery and eclectic airbrush-painted exteriors. Finally, Ken Watkins takes viewers on a transformative walk down Main Street Houston from 1975 to 2015 through snapping photography.

Admission is always free and you can find more information on artcarmuseum.com.
