A huge thank you to the Salina Art Center for joining us for today’s Master Class at The Garage! 🎨🚗

We also want to thank all of our talented Garage members-artists, craftsmen, machinists, engineers, designers and collectors-who brought pieces to share and told the stories behind the art they’ve created and collected.

We were able to snap a few pictures and hope you enjoy seeing the art.

Thank you again to all of our members who shared their creativity with us today! ❤️

🚗 BIG NEWS! 🚗

This fall, we’ve decided to take the Pestinger Family Gallery in a bold new direction with an all-new exhibit:

❤️ Red Hot Rides ❤️

September 3, 2026 – January 11, 2027

From candy-apple classics to deep burgundy beauties, you’ll experience every shade of red imaginable across every decade, every make, and every body style.

And it’s not just automobiles! You’ll also discover planes, trains, automotive memorabilia, and other eye-catching red artifacts woven throughout the exhibit.

While we don’t often change our exhibit plans, this new concept was simply too exciting to pass up—and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Stay tuned! Our 2027 exhibit schedule will be announced soon, and we think you’re going to love what’s ahead.

🔴 Red Hot Rides… where red turns heads.

Tag your friend who has a red ride or post a pic of yours!! If you’re interested in being in the Exhibt text Calvin Cassida at +1 (913) 212-8290 or email at [email protected]

Peggy and Tom McLachlan, both nearly 82 years young and celebrating 60 years of marriage, spent some time reminiscing about the Model A they once owned.

For a few moments, they weren’t 82… they were just two kids again. ❤️🚗

That’s the magic of The Garage.

A huge thank you to the Kansas Motor Carriers Association for spending time at The Garage today teaching our community about semi-truck safety! 🚛

From understanding blind spots to learning how to safely share the road with large trucks, this hands-on program helped kids and adults become safer, more informed drivers.

Thanks to Walmart and FedEx for supporting this program and all the KMCA members.
