September 19, 2026. Bringing together artists, collectors, and automobile enthusiasts, Driven explores the automobile as more than transportation—it is engineering, craftsmanship, innovation, history, and artistic expression.
Inside the gallery, visitors will experience an invitational exhibition featuring original works inspired by automobiles, from classic and vintage cars to modern exotics and motorsports. Outside, a special one-day display of exceptional collector vehicles will transform the gallery grounds into a showcase of automotive beauty and design. The actual art exhibition will last through the end of September and into October. (Final date
to come.)
"Every great car begins as art" serves as the inspiration behind the exhibition, celebrating the creativity shared by designers, engineers, artists, restorers, and collectors alike. Guests will enjoy original artwork, remarkable automobiles, music, food and refreshments, awards, and the opportunity to meet both artists and vehicle owners throughout the day.
Whether your passion is painting, photography, sculpture, automotive history, or beautifully crafted machines, DRIVEN: The Art of the Car® offers an experience unlike any other on the North Carolina coast.
