The Kick-start, American Motorcycle Design exhibition will be on view at The Bascom from Aug. 7-Sept. 26. The exhibition is generously supported by Old Edwards Club members Barbara and Doug DeMaire, Judith and Robert Moore, Angela and Art Williams and Patsy and Bill Wolff. The Kick-Start! American Motorcycle Design exhibition opens in the Main Gallery on Aug. 7 with a reception and gallery talk from 5 to 7 p.m. This highly original exhibition features vintage and antique bikes on loan from Wheels Through Time, a Maggie Valley, N.C.-based private collection. The Bascom’s exhibition will trace the progression of 20th century design styles as evidenced through the motorcycle. The earliest objects will date from the early 1900s. From 1900-1928, motorcycles evolved from a motor powered bicycle to a form of reliable sport and transportation. This exhibition is sponsored by Old Edwards Club members Barbara and Doug DeMaire, Judith and Robert Moore, Angela and Art Williams and Patsy and Bill Wolff.Other exhibitions now at The Bascom: Heroes of Horticulture; Recent Works: Sid Luck; Patrick Dougherty’s Do Tell environmental sculpture; the Treasures of Private Collections and On View: Artists in Residence and Toe River Potters.

Meet Matt Liddle on Aug. 3, Lewis Knauss on Aug. 10, Mira Lehr on Aug. 24, Tom Turner on Aug. 27 and Phillip Garrett on Aug. 30.
