Find Out Below What’s in Store for You in This Year’s Exhibition
Visitors stepped into a space where chrome and canvas collided, and the roar of engines met the quiet hum of inspiration. It was an immersive gallery experience that only existed for seven fleeting days.
Motorcycles As Art 2025 was an evocative exploration of motorcycle culture, craft, and creativity. Curated by long-time custom motorcycle show promoter and bike builder Kevin Dunworth alongside Maiden Moto Art Show curator Savannah Rose, the exhibit continued to evolve while honoring its roots.
Originally curated by world-renowned motorcycle photographer Michael Lichter for its first 14 years, the 2025 show still featured a special display of Lichter’s photography in 2025, exhibited alongside iconic legacy artists David Uhl, Ray Drea, Scott Jacobs, and more.
Set inside the Buffalo Chip Event Center, this exhibit offered you a visceral journey through motorcycle culture as seen through the eyes of master builders and world-class artists.
From Saturday, Aug. 2 through Friday, Aug. 8, 2025, you could find yourself wandering through a space where the mechanical became magical and each custom build told a story.
You didn’t encounter everyday bikes or cookie-cutter art pieces here. The only thing you found within this exhibition were handcrafted expressions of rebellion, freedom, heritage, and grit.
Plus, many of the bikes were crafted specifically for this show and made their public debut right before your eyes.
Experience It All – In Real Time
New this year, Motorcycles As Art Exhibit didn’t just serve as a gallery for existing art. Some of the art was created before your eyes!
Throughout the week, you could witness live art in action — blurring the line between process and performance. It was raw, real, and impossible to replicate.

One-of-a-Kind. Never to Be Seen Again.
Motorcycles As Art can be imitated, but it can’t be duplicated. There’s no where else you can you experience a museum-quality exhibit just steps from world-class Sturgis rally concerts by Nickelback, Jason Aldean, and Marilyn Manson.
