In honor of the 100th anniversary of Route 66, this exhibition invites artists to explore the rich visual culture of the Mother Road, from Chicago to Santa Monica—an enduring symbol of Americana, adventure, and discovery. We welcome works that celebrate the quirky character of roadside attractions as well as the charm of the mom-and-pop businesses that defined the Route 66 experience. From towering fiberglass icons, vibrant neon signs, vintage motor courts, and roadside oddities to small-town diners, family-run shops, and nostalgic service stations, submissions should reflect the whimsy, warmth, and wanderlust that transformed ordinary stops into unforgettable waypoints.
