WELCOME TO ARTOMOBILIA
HOSTED IN THE CARMEL ARTS & DESIGN DISTRICT & MIDTOWN

For 19 years, Artomobilia has celebrated the intersection of automotive design and artistic expression, bringing together collector cars, enthusiasts, and renowned artists in the heart of the Carmel Arts & Design District and all-new Carmel Midtown. Each year, this signature event transforms the streets of Carmel into a remarkable open-air gallery featuring nearly 500 original, period-correct, and enthusiast-owned automobiles, ranging from historic classics and competition legends to modern exotics and supercars.
More than a traditional car show, Artomobilia celebrates craftsmanship, creativity, and community. Guests experience an extraordinary collection of machines that reflect the artistry of engineering and design while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Carmel’s galleries, restaurants, and boutiques. Whether you are a serious collector or simply appreciate great design, Artomobilia offers an immersive experience where automobiles are celebrated as works of art.
🎉 All ages are welcome at this event. 🎉
A UNIQUE, ECLECTIC GATHERING
With over 20 judged Collector Car Classes and a series of diverse Enthusiast Corrals, Artomobilia presents one of the most curated collections of vehicles in the Midwest. Each car tells a story, whether it’s a pristine concours-level classic, a historically preserved icon, or a modern performance masterpiece. Judges will award Best in Class, ARTOMOBILIA Penultimate (runner-up), and ARTOMOBILIA Best in Show, while special awards recognize excellence in presentation, history, and ownership.
ACURA NSX & JDM FRIENDS
Few cars mark the turning point in Japanese performance engineering like the Acura NSX. Introduced as a precision-built mid-engine supercar, it proved Japanese manufacturers could compete directly with the world’s best sports cars. Artomobilia celebrates this legacy by featuring the NSX as the marquee centerpiece, surrounded by an exceptional collection of JDM icons that defined a generation of enthusiasts. From turbocharged legends to finely tuned performance machines, these cars reflect Japan’s relentless pursuit of innovation, balance, and driver connection, reshaping the global sports car landscape.
