The “Road Works” photographic exhibit is a celebration of cars and trains from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. Photographer Ron Dorson made it his mission to be the chronicler of the American auto culture and for over 40 years used his camera to capture the spirit, romance and possibilities of the new highway systems and the cars that traveled on them. 

The gallery’s “6×6 on Route 66” show features over 300 original artworks created by not only professional artists but also local amateur artists and Kingman students. Each piece of original art is 6 inches by 6 inches (hence “6×6 on Route 66” and sells for $20.00 each.

The KCA Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. The exhibit runs through Oct 29. The giftshop, that offers hundreds of original pieces, will also be open.
