 Velocity: The Art of Motion
at the Hopkins Center for the Arts
June 28-August 3, 2008
This will be the largest, stand-alone automotive fine art exhibition in the United States and the first time such an event has occurred in the Upper Midwest. Given the history of the site of Hopkins Center for the Arts (former dealer lot of Suburban Chevrolet), nothing could be more appropriate than celebrating the automobile and the art it has inspired.
Curated by local automotive artist and collector Michael Jekot, the invitational exhibition will include work by 50 artists representing 8 countries and 17 states. The artists include some of the most-recognized names in the world of automotive art as well as young rising stars. The exhibition will be enhanced by public events such as:
Sunday, June 29
Exhibition Public Opening Reception, 4:00pm - 6:00 pm
Jaycee Studio, Hopkins Center for the Arts
Wednesday, July 9
Vintage Race Cars on Mainstreet, 6:0pm - 10:00pm
