Here is the story behind artruck:
On October 24, 2011, at 7:30 in the morning, we rented two moving trucks and parked them back-to-back on the street outside of our house. We pulled out the ramps and rigged up the lights.
We spread the word through various channels, mostly word of mouth, online and a wee bit of social media. We found artists to display their work in the space.
About 200 people showed up. It was joyful. Friends, neighbors, and artists shared food, gazed at art, chatted with one another, and enjoyed the keen breath of the autumn air.
When the evening came to a close around 10 p.m., the artists left with their work and their empty dishes. We locked up the trucks. We went to sleep.
