For members of the lowrider car community, an automobile isn’t just a mode of transportation — it’s a canvas.
“From chrome to paint to candy to sparkle, it is on our vehicles,” said Jose “Shorty” Cornejo, part of the Good Times Car Club’s Utah chapter. (“Candy,” to car artists, is clear paint with translucent pigments.)
Lowrider car culture is the latest street-art genre to go on display at the ninth annual Urban Arts Festival, set for Sept. 21-22 at the Gallivan Center and, on the 22nd, on nearby Regent Street and McCarthey Plaza.
