Lotus-Palooza is more than a car gathering. It is a celebration of trust, discipline, and the art of engineering. From Artomobilia’s earliest days to today, Young Kim and Gator Motorsport embody the belief that perfection is achieved by taking things away.

Ferragosto! celebrates Italian automotive exceptionalism across all marques, from Ferrari and Lamborghini to Fiat. Hosted at Motor District, the festival blends iconic cars, live music, lunch, and adult beverages into a relaxed summer gathering. No judging. Just style, passion, and the unmistakable Italian thread that connects cars and people together.

The Lane Motor Museum represents a rare collection of cars built by engineers who chose curiosity over convention. At Artomobilia, we are bringing that spirit to life with a new experience that moves beyond display and celebrates originality, experimentation, and the art of saying yes.

Artomobilia’s success is self-reinforcing. A thoughtful audience attracts aligned sponsors, and those partners elevate the experience that keeps guests returning. This cycle of alignment explains why Artomobilia continues to draw exceptional partners and one of the Midwest’s most engaged automotive communities year after year.

Car show etiquette at Artomobilia is about connection, not restriction. Respect for both sentimental and monetary value allows guests and entrants to engage comfortably and safely. When courtesy leads, automobiles become conversation starters and the event becomes a place where lasting relationships are built.

At Artomobilia, design drives every decision. From curated classes to accepted vehicles and owner stories, we focus on automobiles that express purpose, proportion, and authenticity. This approach transforms the event into an open-air exhibition where craftsmanship and culture take center stage.

Artomobilia has grown alongside the Arts & Design District and Carmel Midtown, transforming from a small event amid construction into a citywide experience. Come for the cars and discover one of the most vibrant downtown environments in the country, shaped by design, culture, and community.

Artomobilia is introducing a new judged class called 25 Under 25, focused on young enthusiasts and the classic cars they are preserving, restoring, and personalizing. It is a deliberate step toward welcoming the next generation and ensuring automotive culture continues to thrive.

Artomobilia’s strength lies in its diversity, from modern supercars to timeless classics and everyday enthusiast cars. By focusing on the art and design of the automobile rather than a single brand or era, the event creates an inclusive experience that celebrates beauty in all its forms.

Artomobilia continues to evolve by layering what matters. In 2026, that means expanded brand-focused showcases, complementary arts experiences, nationally recognized automotive artists like David Chapple, and deeper engagement across Carmel Midtown, all built around the cars, owners, and community that define the event.

The Artistry & Elegance Ladies’ Luncheon grew from a simple question. What are we doing for women at Artomobilia? The answer became a curated luncheon, hosted at one of Carmel’s most beautiful restaurants, blending the performing arts, philanthropy, and hospitality into a meaningful experience.

What started as an emphatic “no” became a smart solution to a growing challenge. As Porsches began to dominate Artomobilia’s European classes, the decision was clear. Give the brand its own spotlight. Porsche-Palooza was born and has since nearly tripled in size.

The Veloce Hangar Party returns to the Jet Access Center with an evening that blends high-end automobiles, private aviation, and exceptional hospitality. Surrounded by rare cars, aircraft, great food, music, and drinks, guests enjoy a one-of-a-kind opportunity to connect with Hamilton County entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and collectors in an environment that consistently delivers an unforgettable experience.

Artomobilia’s events don’t happen by accident. They happen because of volunteers who care deeply about the cars, the people, and the community that surrounds them. In 2026, volunteers will continue to play a critical role across every Artomobilia event, helping create safe, welcoming, and memorable experiences for owners, guests, and partners alike.

In 2026, Artomobilia spotlights the iconic Acura NSX, a car that challenged convention by delivering supercar performance with everyday reliability and disciplined engineering. Supporting the NSX, a curated collection of Japanese Domestic Market vehicles will showcase the creativity, utility, and cultural influence that make JDM cars endlessly compelling. Together, they tell a story of innovation driven by purpose, precision, and personality.

From restoration craftsmanship to marquee celebrations and community gatherings, Artomobilia’s 2025 events were defined by people, places, and shared experiences. We are grateful to the talented photographers who captured these moments, helping us preserve the stories, details, and energy that make each event memorable.

For 19 years, Artomobilia has been shaped by the people and partnerships that make Carmel special. As the event returns in 2026, an expanded footprint reflects thoughtful growth, strong collaboration with the City, and a continued commitment to inviting guests to discover, enjoy, and return to downtown Carmel.

From road rallies to automotive celebrations, including Artomobilia Weekend, and all the events and activities it includes, we’re revving up to deliver a full season built for automotive collectors and enthusiasts.
