Art On Wheels
Celebrating one year promoting the Arts!
One year ago, GoPegasus launched a new showcase to display local, Central Florida artists’ creations as never seen before…on a “moving canvas”. Our buses, carrying millions of passengers each year, have been transformed into the ultimate moving art canvas for talented artists to devise the perfect creation – all visible to the world as our passengers travel from place to place!

Art Is Essential
Born out of the passion for the Arts, “Art on Wheels” was the brainchild of Fernando Pereira and Claudia Menezes, owners of GoPegasus. The Central Florida business owners had often played with the idea of wrapping the bus windows with corporate logos but wanted something more iconic and meaningful to grace the giant canvases available to them. Their fleet of buses could easily be transformed to traveling art pieces that could enrich the community and serve as mobile inspiration anywhere it traveled.
