A car show celebrates the car at rest. A road rally puts it in motion. Both draw the same passionate community of enthusiasts, collectors, and drivers. If you've spent years on show fields but never done a rally, SHIFT on May 2 is the right place to start.

Show season arrives fast. Whether you're chasing a trophy or just want to look sharp on the field, preparation makes the difference. From paint correction to engine bay presentation to knowing your class, here's how to get ready, plus a few trusted partners who can help along the way.

You may have noticed the event formerly known as Porsche-Palooza is listed under a different name this year. Präzision is the German word for precision. You are welcome to pronounce it however you like. Here is the story behind the name change — and why nothing about the event itself has changed.

On May 2, the 2026 season opens the way it should — with engines running and Southern Indiana's best roads laid out ahead of you. SHIFT is a curated single-day road rally built for drivers who believe the road matters as much as the car. Spaces are limited.

The 2026 season is officially underway. Registration is now open for all twelve Artomobilia events — from SHIFT Road Rally on May 2 to Zusammen in October, with five events across a single August weekend in Carmel. The most complete calendar we have ever put together. Find your events and secure your spot.

Located along Main Street in the Carmel Arts & Design District and Midtown, these groupings bring clubs and enthusiasts together to showcase a wide range of vehicles while celebrating community, conversation, and the shared passion that drives automotive culture.

The 2026 Palooza Groups celebrate enthusiast communities built around iconic automotive brands. These lively gatherings showcase vehicles from classics to modern performance machines and custom builds. Located throughout the Carmel Arts & Design District and Midtown, each Palooza highlights the passion, diversity, and culture that unite owners and fans of legendary marques.

Artomobilia draws guests from across the country, and Carmel is well-equipped to welcome them.

Artomobilia is a multi-event automotive season built around craftsmanship, community, and the stories behind exceptional vehicles. Whether you're registering a car, planning a visit, or attending one of our signature gatherings for the first time, this page covers the questions we hear most often.

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.
