Vice & Virtue: Beyond These Things

August 6, 2025 thru August 31, 2025

Art Cars are created for as many varieties of inspirations as there are car artists. While some of the results are humorous, clever, or frivolous, many of them are homages to religion, love, personal struggle, loss and/or victory. The cars on display in this exhibition are all examples of artists channeling emotion, dedication, and hard work to illustrate their vices and virtues, and transmuting them into something new and kindred. A selection of Art Cars will be on display, featuring work by David Best, Mark Bradford and Alex Harrah.
