Appleton Museum Announces “Art of the Chopper” Exhibition this Fall!
 |
The definition of a chopper is any conceptualized, one-of-a-kind, handmade motorcycle of exceptional design and originality, and that perfectly describes the 30 ostentatious yet beautiful custom bikes that will be presented in “Art of the Chopper” at the Appleton Museum of Art of Central Florida Community from Oct. 10 to Jan. 10, 2010. |
“Art of the Chopper” strives to present motorcycles as both sculptural art and artifacts of American culture. During the exhibition, the Appleton will showcase 30 choppers, each accompanied by a series of photographs and display panels featuring background information on the bike’s builder. Among the well-known names will be Indian Larry, Rick Fairless, Jerry Graves, Ron Finch and Mike Brown. A series of special events and motorcycle-related programs will be presented at the museum on weekends during the three-month exhibition.
Admission tickets for the exhibition are on sale now at the museum and online at www.AppletonMuseum.org. or call the Appleton at 352-291-4455.
The Appleton is currently recruiting volunteers from ELO to help with several special events during the exhibit, especially the kick off event in October. If you are interested in volunteering on one of the committees or learning more about the options please contact Pamela Zeljak today!
