{"version":"1.0.0","episode":{"title":"386: Heidi Mraz at Waterworks - When Car Culture Becomes Fine Art","url":"http://getcarcurious.com/episodes/386-heidi-mraz-at-waterworks-when-car-culture-becomes-fine-art","audioUrl":"https://pdcn.co/e/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/autosausage/386_Heidi.mp3?dest-id=1205588","description":"This week I step inside Waterworks Visual Arts Center in Salisbury, NC to experience Heidi Mraz's immersive automotive art exhibit. Heidi transforms fragments—vintage brochures, race maps, workshop notes, paint chips—into large-scale portraits that feel alive with motion and memory. We talk process (from research to layering and collage), the stories hidden in each build sheet and body panel, and why car culture belongs on museum walls as much as it does on concours lawns. If you love the smell of old manuals, the poetry of patina, or the way a great road trip rearranges your brain, you'll be right at home in this episode. Show links: • Waterworks Visual Arts Center — Salisbury, NC • Artist: Heidi Mraz This episode is sponsored by our friends at California Car Cover — my go-to source for custom-fit car covers and detailing gear. They've protected both my '66 GTO and Porsche Boxster S, and I trust them to keep your collector car safe, too. #HeidiMraz #WaterworksVisualArtsCenter #SalisburyNC #AutomotiveArt #CarCulture #CollageArt #MuseumExhibit #CollectorCars #ArtExhibit #FineArt #CarDesign #CarStories #AutomotiveHistory #ArtAndCars   Listen to the \"Octane FM: Shift, Rev, Repeat\" album on Spotify!
