2006 | Best Art-Opening Cocktails

The Press conducted a lot of research for this category (see "Free Booze," December 1), and we've got to hand it to the freewheelin' spirits at the Art Car Museum for running away with the prize.

Art Car Museum's Latest Show a Mixed Bag

By Meredith Deliso | Fri, December 30, 2011

The Art Car Museum's group exhibition model sounds like a recipe for disaster -- put out an open call for works, and take the first 125 that you get. Oh, and give them a one-word theme. But that's th... More »
