Can I take pictures at the show?
Absolutely! Be sure to tag Manual Focus Show when you post those stunners.
Can I touch the cars and art?
Absolutely NOT! Touching the cars or art will get you ejected from the event immediately. This is standard car and art show etiquette. NEVER touch, lean, stand on, climb on, or climb into something that is not yours. It is a privelige to have artists and owners allow us to feature their work and collections. Do NOT go around ropes to stand next to something—the ropes are there for a reason. Let's all remember what Mom or Dad said, "Admire with your eyes, not your hands."
Can I bring my kids?
Yes! Saturday's Manual Focus Show is family-friendly and features a custom coloring area. Kids 12 and under are free. Please don’t allow them to touch the cars or art, though. Please see the previous FAQ.
Can I bring my dog?
Well-mannered and leashed dogs are welcome. Please don’t allow them to urinate on any car tires in the show. Dogs that do, will need to be removed from the event. Please clean up after your pet.
