A Golf kART and the Open Road...


Every once and a while there are those people who make an impact on the world we know through extraordinary efforts and vision. They pursue a dream in which they hope to capture a moment in life and immortalize it through some means of art, diction, or word. Their hopes vary in detail and medium but their overall goal is one in the same: to bring people together through exposure of a common interests.

You might be asking yourself what does all this have to do with a golf kART and an open road. Well, before a couple months ago I would have said nothing. In most cases a golf kART and art are found on completely opposite sides of the spectrum. From today on they will find themselves mingling for the first time and in time, they may become synonymous with each other (its a stretch but it could happen). This fusion of art and kART is possible through the vision of Jeremy Make and Andy Raney and an amazing trek across america.

On April 19, 2008, kART Across America will embark on a 12,000-mile, 130-day, 48-state journey on a golf kart to discover the art of America. While on this art-seeking endeavor Jeremy and Andy will be interviewing, documenting, participating, discovering, and observing all forms of art in hopes of sharing it with the world. At the end of this some-what odd yet still entirely inspiring expedition they will be turning what they have learned, filmed, and experience into a documentary film, a book, and a sue-do MySpace web site where you can post your own art and share your opinions. It will be interesting to watch as people all over the United States share their art forms with these two. Keep an eye out for them as you are driving around where ever you are. Even if you are not lucky enough to run into them be sure to ask yourself, what is your art? You might be surprised by what your response is.
