Automotive Fine Arts Society - Pebble Beach 2017

Pebble Beach CA, Aug 19 2017 - AFAS has been joined at the hip with Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance for more than 3 decades, and almost as long with the Lincoln Division of Ford Motor Company. D'owners of the finest automobiles in the world gather on the Pebble Beach Golf Course to celebrate the pinnacle of their craft. It makes sense for the best automobiles artists and their art be celebrated in the same green environment with so many like minded people.

Ken Eberts founded the AFAS group in 1984 with 5 others - today there are 32 members of which he continues to lead. Great people events always attract great supporting talent. Robert Larivee produced the first exhibitions in the 80s - still contributing comprehensive books on automobile history. Dave Kunz has called the AFAS show for 12 straight years - by now this is a smooth running show under his voice control.

For those previously unexposed souls thinking AFAS might stand for "As Far As Sunday", the objectives of the Automotive Fine Arts Society really are:

- exhibit the automotive fine art works of its members

- promote and publicize the work of its members

- raise the standards of automotive art to a level of acceptance as serious fine art from the point of view of both collectors and critics

- provide, through the society, a practical means to form enduring friendships, exchange ideas and build fellowship among automotive fine artists and enthusiasts
