The ArtCenter Design Invitational is at its core the event previously entitled the ‘Car Classic’. The school launched this 25 years ago, in 2001. This brings together current students, alumni, and industry professionals. Plus, the school hosts world-class samples of transportation.
The annual ArtCenter Design Invitational (formerly the Car Classic) is truly an important event. This is a homecoming of wonderful cars that are the by-products of the school, and the creative, alumni minds. Mere mortals get to honor those that have made our lives worth living.
The 2025 Design Invitational offers car enthusiasts and design lovers a rare opportunity to explore groundbreaking concepts, iconic designs, trendsetters, new models and timeless classics, plus an exhibition of vehicles spanning 8 decades.
