Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the release of American Graffiti, the movie, the Modesto Art Museum and the Building Imagination Center are hosting Art and the Automobile. This multi-part exhibition explores cultural and artistic responses to the automobile, which has transformed life in the 20th century more significantly than any other single factor. Inspired by the ubiquitous presence of the car, the exhibit focus upon several different aspects of cars in society, including licenses plates from all 50 states, car detail photography, and photography of cars taken between 1960 – 1970.
