Red Grooms

Posted on May 12, 2026 by Grubb

In one of the convention center size rooms making up the Migrant exhibit at the FENIX is a bus made out of fabric that visitors can walk into.

Fabric bus

The Bus is the work of an American artist named Red Grooms. Red is from Nashville. He’s estimated that he has traveled by bus twenty-four times to New York City and back. The bus was another world. In the FENIX people lined up to get on to take a look just as if they passengers waiting at a New York stop. 

Waiting to get on the bus

Inside the soft fabric bus are passengers made out of colored fabric and other textiles.

With his blend of fabrics Red has blended cultures.
