Slow & Low: Chicago Lowrider Festival is a curated one-day outdoor street-based gathering celebrating Lowrider culture - master craftsmen, innovative mechanics, custom pinstripers, muralists, and other enthusiasts to the overall visual aesthetics of a thriving Midwestern sub-culture. Not to be confused with an auto show, this community-cultural event presents and explores car culture notions as an authentic form of folk art in the public sphere - a way of expressing beauty, self-expression, and worth. Our community festival takes shape by a series of grassroots fundraising strategies and volunteer support staff. We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of so many people - family, volunteers, donors, artists, organizers, musicians, and the curious who have helped make Slow & Low a reality.
Project funding generously provided by The Propeller Fund, jointly administered by Gallery 400 and Threewalls and funded through the Andy Warhol Foundation and a research grant awarded by the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures (NALAC).
