🚘💨 THE SECRET IS OUT… SOMETHING NEW IS ROLLING IN! 💨🚘
Our next exhibition is officially opening August 29th…

📸 THE LOWRIDERS: FROM DETROIT TO L.A. AND BACK 📸
For more than two decades, photographer Erik Paul Howard has documented the lowrider culture through the people, families, and car clubs who keep it alive across Detroit, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
Through his photographs, Howard takes us beyond the cars and into the everyday places where this culture lives—garages, porches, parking lots, boulevards, and family gatherings. Together, these images tell a story of community, craftsmanship, tradition, and a culture passed from one generation to the next.

🏁 August 29 – December 19, 2026 🏁
The wheels are turning, and the next exhibition is opening soon. We can’t wait to share The Lowriders: From Detroit to L.A. and Back with you. 👀

Stay tuned… the ride is just beginning. 🚘✨
