Nims & Mo Non-Sterile U-Haul Art Show starting from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday at 13 Appian Way, Harvard Square. Free.

This Kickstarted art series (“We are two artists with the same dream: We want to have a show at the back of a U-Haul”) takes place … at the back of a U-Haul parked by the Harvard Graduate School of Education, with founders Nimah Gobir and Mo Kwok offering up their own works, ranging from paintings to neon, as well as bringing on musicians, spoken word artists and other performers. Pop-up restaurants and theater in apartments have had their moments in the spotlight, and it’s time for mobile art to shine. “The U-Haul will serve as an unconventional, neutral art space for participants to interact in and around,” the artists say. Information is here.
