The Autolawn Party is open to the public, and there's no charge for spectators, who can also vote for their favorite classic car. The celebration is centered around a European classic car show for the automotive enthusiast, but it’s far more than that. There’s something fun for everyone!

The festivities include:
Car Show | Live Music | Great Food | Beer Garden | Merch for Sale | Awards Ceremony | Kid’s Art Activities

The Autolawn Party is an outdoor celebration of the road’s number one traveler – the automobile. Autolawn is unique in its size and scale having no more than 80 entrants. The intention is to provide a wide range of high-quality, original vehicles in an intimate yet informal setting, without the pressure of traditional concourse events.

For more details about The Autolawn Party, contact Danielle Cannon, Hickory Museum of Art Director of Donor Relations at (828) 327-8576 or dcannon@hickoryart.org.

Proceeds from the day’s events benefit the Museum’s educational programming. Autolawn is a rain-or-shine event.

This beginner-friendly teen drawing workshop introduces students to the fundamentals of figure drawing in a supportive, creative environment. We begin by learning how to build a strong foundation using simple skeletal structures, helping students understand proportion, balance, and movement. As the class progresses, we gradually develop these frameworks into full figures, exploring form, gesture, and basic anatomy. By the end of the workshop, students will feel more confident bringing their drawings to life, with a deeper understanding of how the human body is constructed and expressed through art. No prior experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to learn! Bring a sketchbook, but all other materials will be provided

Jean learned long ago through her own artist’s journey that a wonderful route to learning to paint (or painting better) is to work with simple objects as subject matter. Once those principles are learned, we can apply them to any subject from still life to landscape.

This is the perfect class for the near beginner or more advanced painter who wants to loosen up and explore the expressive potential of your paint brush!

While covering the basics of painting (“What exactly is a Medium?” and “How do I even START a painting?”), Jean offers a fun and relaxed atmosphere for honing your skills as a painter.

Complete a small everyday object painting with a step-by-step approach that will stay with you long after the paint is dry! Jean is known for her positive approach to learning and an ability to reach students whatever their current level of skill. All supplies are included, just be sure to bring a good ole’ sense of fun!

Objectives:

Feel more confident in your understanding of:

• Color mixing

• Blocking In

• Value

• Expressive brushwork

• Making vibrant color choices

• Some painting experience recommended

This beginner-friendly teen drawing workshop introduces students to the fundamentals of figure drawing in a supportive, creative environment. We begin by learning how to build a strong foundation using simple skeletal structures, helping students understand proportion, balance, and movement. As the class progresses, we gradually develop these frameworks into full figures, exploring form, gesture, and basic anatomy. By the end of the workshop, students will feel more confident bringing their drawings to life, with a deeper understanding of how the human body is constructed and expressed through art. No prior experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to learn! Bring a sketchbook, but all other materials will be provided

Give Tai-Chi a try for your health and well-being! The ancient Chinese art of Tai Chi uses gentle flowing movements to reduce the stress of today’s busy lifestyles and improve health & vitality. Rick Berry is a certified Tai Chi instructor who teaches with great clarity and patience. Improve your balance, strength and agility in the ambience of beautiful original art.
