Click on the links to learn more about Art Cars, and to visit marble dealers who have donated marbles to the project. Our heartfelt thanks to those generous people! We have 15,000 marbles in our dining room, mostly purchased on eBay, but we still need thousands more, especially: peewees, cat's eyes, colored clearies, black game marbles, Vacor iridescent or plain swirls, and carnival glass & other iridescents. But any kind of marble will be useful.

We will list all sponsors on this website and on a poster wherever the car is displayed.
