Moto Art Show, a unique art initiative, has launched India’s first gallery art exhibition dedicated exclusively to art inspired by motorcyclists, their machines, journeys and their stories. The debut exhibition entitled “First of Its Name” will be held at Peepletree Art Gallery, Bangalore from March 31 - April 28, 2018. In this month long debut show, 12 multi-disciplinary moto artists from all across India will be showing their artworks in all mediums such as paintings, illustrations, metal sculptors using bike parts, film and performance. This is the first time such an event is happening in India with so much motorcycle art in one place with around 80 unique pieces of art for sale.

There’s something for everyone in this exhibit if you love motorcycles.
