(NEWS RELEASE) Floral City, September 18, 2012 – Participants and spectators at the Art & Wheels Custom and Classic Motorcycle Show, to be hosted by the Florida Artists Gallery on October 6, will have an opportunity to be photographed with their motorcycles by one of the professional photographer members at the Gallery.

A photo booth will be set up, using Florida Artists Gallery’s historic Knight House as its backdrop, where motorcyclists can quickly roll in and get a photo for only $20. Each will receive a digital photo suitable for Facebook or other social networking use, or as wallpaper for their computer screen. Those who wish can obtain higher resolution images or high quality prints at an additional cost.

Art & Wheels is a free outdoor motorcycle show that will take place 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the Knight House lawns during the annual Florida City Bikes & BarBQ Festival. Awards will be given for Best of Show, Best Graphics, and The People’s Choice. The People’s Choice Award will be a fund raiser with all proceeds going to Filter Youth Development, an Inverness-based non-profit organization that guides and supports Citrus County youth in making good decisions, all centered on exciting and challenging activities.

Entries in Art and Wheels are still available for owners who want to show their motorcycles in one of four classes: American V-Twins, Metric Customs, Three-wheelers, or Classics. For information on how to enter a motorcycle, go to http://www.artandwheels.org/ or e-mail jungleeddy@aol.com.
