Airstream Fine Art Invitational. 25 top landscapes artists from all over the USA will display their Airstream art in the Customer Service Lobby. Most art will be available for purchase.

This year we have a very special item: A signed, limited-edition Epiphone AirScreamer guitar signed by Antsy McClain and The Trailer Park Troubadours! Valued at over $750 (without signatures!) this is the ultimate instrument for an Airstream guitarist. We will also be auctioning a special VIP Airstream factory tour, which includes areas that the regular tour doesn't go, personally led by Plant Manager Marion Slater. You'll have at least an hour to tour the facility, ask all the questions you want, and get a memento of your visit. Every dollar raised in the Silent Auction will be donated to the Jackson Center Food Bank, a worthy cause that helps many local people. Place your bids in the Vendor/Registration tent.
