Artomobilia Guest | Event Day Guide
Welcome to
ARTOMOBILIA
Welcome to Artomobilia. In our nineteenth year, we continue to offer something you'll find nowhere else in the Midwest: an eclectic collection of exceptional automobiles displayed along the streets of the Carmel Arts & Design District and Carmel Midtown, nestled among the galleries, restaurants, and shops that make this district what it is. Spanning more than a century of automotive art and design, from brass-era classics to modern supercars, the field is meant to be walked, admired, and enjoyed at your own pace. Along the way you'll find judged classes and enthusiast corrals, and our marque-specific Paloozas hosting scores of Porsches, BMWs, Lotuses, and Mercedes-Benz alongside their local clubs.
This year holds something truly special. We're honored to host Lane Motor Museum of Nashville, home to the largest collection of European automobiles in America, whose founder Jeff Lane joins us with a selection of rare and wonderfully strange machines, including the one-of-a-kind 1932 Helicron. Watch for them as they parade into their display along Rangeline Road, a rare chance to see these vehicles in motion. Our judging teams will name Best in Show, Penultimate, and Best in Class winners at the Awards Ceremony, but the real objective is simpler: to enjoy and indulge in the art of the automobile, in good company, on a great day. Thank you for being here. We hope you enjoy Artomobilia as much as we do.
Enjoy,
John Leonard

Weather
Indiana’s weather is predictably unpredictable. Check the forecast and wear what’s appropriate… That could be a jacket, a rain coat or a T-shirt. Our events always run in both liquid sunshine or actual sunshine, we always hope for the latter.
