We love us a good art car, but we REALLY love the idea of several in one place. This weekend our dream comes true with the i3 arts festival on Friday and Saturday June 2nd and 3rd, in which several artistically daring cars will assemble in DTLA. These cars include Charlie the Unicorn, a Burning Man-immortalized two story vehicle that was, of course, inspired by the YouTube series of the same name. The One Eyed Monster, Funn Machine, and Torch the Dragon are among the many others that will join this car on the lineup along with musical guests including but not limited to Doc Martin, DJ Dan, and The Gaslamp Killer.

“We acknowledge all mediums of art as part of our lineup,” said Xandra Myers, i3 Arts Fest Founder. “Art installations and art cars are billed as headliners alongside our DJs, as they perform together and give our audience a unique sensory experience within a festival footprint.”

In addition to this Art car celebration in Pershing Square, their festival will also host the country’s tallest musical instrument, the “Earth Harp,” in Innovation Plaza. This will be performed 8PM on Friday and 5PM Saturday. While the art car ball is $50, the other events are free.99, with the only requirements being to sign up and prove you’re a human by identifying some pictures…news on whether or not robots will be allowed NEXT year will be announced after the weekend.
