 Art cars are now accessible up close and personal in many more areas.Through his promotion of Houston's Orange Show art car events including the parade, art car seminars and the Main Street Drag (an event which brings art cars to schools) Harrod helped to bring art cars into the world of education where they became the focus of hands-on workshops in schools across the country.Public appearances and lectures at museums and art car events helped Blank to use his personal experience to keep the art car phenomenon moving forward.
