Cartist is a Jaipur-based entity that brings art and automobiles together and focuses on the creation of automotive-themed art pieces and restoration works. The name is an amalgamation of two words, car and artist. Cartist recently announced its latest project called the ‘Art of Restoration’, which involves the restoration and documentation of two vintage cars – a Cadillac 1954 Fleetwood and an Ambassador 1969 Mark II – for the next six months. In addition to documenting the restoration process, Cartist will also bring together a number of interesting events over a period of six months. To develop artistic skills amongst the automobile enthusiasts, students and youth Cartist will organize various sets of engagement activities.
