Art In The Fast Lane seeks to showcase works that pay tribute to the art and culture of the great American automobile.  Muscles, classics, rods, pickups, Harleys, suped-up, chrome wheeled, fuel injected, 4-banger, 6 banger, motors, engines.  Art could also feature people: garage culture, greasers, racing culture, roadside attractions, logos, pop art, and more.  Work should capture the ideals of freedom, speed, and the spirit of the open road. 😎  This is the final show of a 4-part summer series from Vestige Concept Gallery.
