What’s more fun than a roving canvas? The Grape Escape was the Hilltop’s first art car! Haydocy Automotive donated the car and the clear coat to protect the super-cool paint job that Justin Withrow of Lookout Supply gave it. (Justin also painted our 2019 Peace Train mural.)

The Grape Escape made appearances at the Westgate Farmers Market, the Hilltop Bean Dinner, Doo Dah Parade, Comfest, Hot Times Festival, the Hilltop Spring Jamboree, and of course, Summer Jam West!

The Grape Escape’s “toppers” represented some of our past public art installations, and were designed and created by former board member Rachel Pace (who also created our first installation, On the Wings of Change).
