2024 Custom Culture Art Show

 Please visit the Anacapa Hall for the 2024 Custom Culture Art Show! Originally organized to showcase the work of Easyriders magazine artist David Mann after his passing, the Chopper Fest Art & Culture Show has evolved into an indoor, multimedia art exhibit focused on up-and-coming and established artists that work in the genre of motorcycle, hot rod, and low brow art.

Artists come from all over the country to pay tribute to the Norman Rockwell of the biker world, and to meet like-minded artists, industry professionals, and art patrons looking for something "off the beaten path". Artists are encouraged to create David Mann tribute art, be on-site to promote their art, and do some "live painting". Artwork is displayed on fencing and tables supplied by Chopper Fest.

15th Annual Chopper Fest Artwork

We would like to thank the fine folks at Easyriders Magazine and David Mann's family for allowing us to use David's "Pacific Coast Highway" artwork for this year's event. "The Pacific Coast Highway was published in Easyriders Magazine, August 1972. In this illustration camaraderie and power are vividly conceived. Miles of motorcycles create a snake of headlights along the coast of Malibu. Many of Dave's paintings spread new styles throughout the country. Two bikes in front of the pack display stretched frames, and extremely long front ends; a bit of biker style exaggeration." -Easyriders

Thank you

Thank you to everyone who came out to support this years 11th Annual David Mann Chopperfest. We strive to bring you a better show each and every year and we couldn't do that without the support of so many talented builders, amazing artists, vendors and sponsors. Last year you asked for more music so this year we brought you 3 bands, and Gilby Clarke as the headliner! You asked for more David Mann art so we teamed up with Ron Seigel Fine Art and Tracy Mann to bring you more Mann art and memorabilia. Please let me know what we can improve for next year. Its the only way for us to get better and give you the show you deserve. - From Tory and the ChopperFest team.

We also have prizes of a handmade Bowie knife forged from a warrior's file and deer antler with a custom case engraved with the Chopperfest 10 logo and lots of gold and silver jewelry from Segal's Fine jewelry in Paso Robles Ca. More prizes to be added by show time  Please come and support our efforts to support the families of the men and women who gave all to protect our most precious possession...our Freedom.

Thanks

Big Dave.
