Calling All Artists

23rd Annual David Mann Chopper Fest

February 6–7, 2027

Ventura, California

The David Mann Chopper Fest has always been about more than motorcycles. It's a celebration of art, individuality, and the creative spirit that David Mann captured so perfectly through his legendary paintings.

For 2027, we're looking to bring some fresh blood into the gallery. We're opening up artist submissions and inviting painters, illustrators, photographers, sculptors, and other creative minds to showcase their work alongside artists who share a passion for the motorcycle lifestyle.

Ideally, your artwork should be inspired by David Mann, his legacy, or the motorcycle culture he helped define. We're not looking for copies of his work. We want to see your own interpretation of the freedom, brotherhood, rebellion, and open-road lifestyle that made his art so iconic.

You don't need a big name or a long résumé. We're looking for originality, creativity, and artists who can bring a fresh perspective to the culture.

What You Get

Selected artists will receive:

  • A 10-foot exhibition space inside the David Mann Art/Tattoo building.
  • Wall space to hang and showcase original artwork.
  • A display table for artwork, prints, merchandise, and other creations.
  • The opportunity to sell your work directly to thousands of motorcycle and art enthusiasts.
  • Two full days surrounded by builders, artists, collectors, and fans of the culture.

Artist Space: $200 for the weekend.
