Overview

The Lowrider Show and Shine is a moment to celebrate with community the artistry and presence of lowriders in Denver, and the opening of Desert Rider: Dreaming in Motion. The exhibition, on view July 9 to September 24, 2023, highlights how Southwestern Latinx and Indigenous artists express identity, pride, and a sense of community by transforming vehicles—such as lowriders and skateboards—associated with the Western U.S.

This family-friendly event will feature lowriders, local vendors, delicious food, music, and free general admission to the museum all day.
