Morphology

artmobile = art + mobile (transparent) = art + mobile

Clearly formed by combining 'art' and 'mobile' to mean a movable vehicle/unit for art; the meaning follows directly from its parts.

Artmobile joins art and mobile, the same mobile you see in automobile or 'mobile' phone and it means 'moving'. So an artmobile is an art space on wheels that travels to people to make, teach, or show art.
