Art can take many forms, shaped by an artist’s vision and creative philosophy. The story of Da Race on Wheels stands out as a unique fusion of Mitchell Schorr’s playful street art and Fine Art Shippers’ mission to bring art beyond the walls of galleries and museums. This traveling artwork has spent years on the road across the United States and is now available for acquisition by a collector who appreciates unique objects and contemporary street art.
A Moving Art Object by Mitchell Schorr
Mitchell Schorr is a well-known street artist and muralist whose vibrant, nostalgic racecars are instantly recognizable in public spaces. His work captures a sense of childhood wonder, where imagination reigns, and a Mister Softee ice cream truck can compete alongside sleek racing cars. At the core of Schorr’s philosophy is accessibility—art should be encountered in everyday life, not confined to traditional venues.
In collaboration with Fine Art Shippers, this vision took on a new dimension. The result was a hand-painted art van that transforms a functional logistics vehicle into a dynamic, mobile artwork. Extending its contemporary relevance, the project was also translated into a digital format as an NFT, reflecting current trends in the art world.
The Journey of Da Race on Wheels
Originally acquired from the Red Cross and used for practical shipping purposes, the vehicle was reimagined through Mitchell Schorr’s artistic intervention. The transformation turned it into a moving canvas—an artwork designed to engage audiences wherever it travels.
Since its debut, Da Race on Wheels has traveled across 48 states, visiting dozens of cities and communities. Whether seen on busy urban streets, at cultural events, or along cross-country routes, it has brought contemporary street art directly into people’s daily lives. The project challenges the traditional boundaries of art display, proving that meaningful artistic experiences don’t have to be confined to galleries or museums—they can happen anywhere.
Today, the art van is being offered for sale with the goal of ensuring its proper conservation and long-term preservation. As a unique intersection of street art, design, and cultural storytelling, it represents both an artistic statement and a historical artifact of contemporary art practice. The van now awaits a new owner who appreciates Schorr’s vision and is ready to continue preserving—and perhaps even extending—the legacy of this one-of-a-kind mobile artwork.
