The End Of The Road, and Beyond
With 2024 at a close, the LUSTER Art Exhibition showcasing realism and hyperrealism in contemporary automobile and motorcycle paintings featuring fifteen artists and sixty artworks, which opened on March 15th, 2024, has ended at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, this past Sunday, January 5th.

Showing my art at the National Corvette Museum has been a tremendous honor and a remarkable experience. My diptych artwork, titled MOMENTUM, which I meticulously created specifically for this unique opportunity, along with a diverse collection of my other artistic works, has been enjoyed up close and personal by thousands of enthusiastic Corvette owners and automotive enthusiasts from various backgrounds. Witnessing their genuine appreciation and excitement for my art has elevated my passion for doing what I love. It has further inspired me to continue exploring the world of automotive art.
Since MOMENTUM artwork was made just for the National Corvette Museum show, it will not follow the tour as we advance. Stay tuned for an update soon on where you can see the original art next.

As the Corvette Museum packs up the exhibit and its accompanying artworks, I am excited to share that the LUSTER Exhibit will travel to two well-known museums this year.
The exhibit’s first stop for 2025 is The Historic City Hall Arts and Cultural Center in Lake Charles, LA, from February 1 through April 30, 2025.
 
The Historic City Hall Arts & Cultural Center is a public art and history gallery showcasing numerous traveling exhibitions worldwide. It is also the home to Black Heritage Gallery and Gallery by the Lake. Both galleries give the spotlight to dozens of regional and local artists. The Center features three floors of gallery space, a clock tower, and a landscaped brick plaza. Traveling exhibitions by well-known artists Pablo Picasso, Norman Rockwell, and Tasha Tudor have visited the Center and historical exhibits, including Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition and The Pelican State Goes to War (by the National WWII Museum). Visitors nationwide are surprised to find such high-caliber exhibitions in the Lake Area.
Historic City Hall Arts & Cultural Center is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission to all exhibitions is free. Follow them on Facebook to stay connected and learn about their current exhibits. For more information, call (337) 491-9147.
Late-May to Mid-August 2025
Next is The Las Cruces Museum of Art from May 23 to August 16, 2025, marking its twentieth notable venue for the LUSTER Exhibition since its launch in 2018.
The Museum of Art, located at 491 N Main Street, Las Cruces, New Mexico, hosts changing contemporary art exhibits and offers programs for visitors of all ages.
We’re still a ways off for the Las Cruces show, so stay tuned for details as we get closer.
