Additional Info:
The Ironstone Concours d’Elegance is an antique and classic car show held each September at Ironstone Vineyards near Murphys, California. Some 300+ antique and classic cars participate. The event also features vintage trailers, housecars, antique trucks and motorcycles, race cars and wooden boats. Honored guests from the old-car hobby and the auto industry regularly participate.
Featured vehicle marques vary from year to year—such names as Packard, Duesenberg, Pierce-Arrow, BMW, Corvette, Studebaker, Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Special classes spotlight early Fords, streamlined cars, sports cars, exotics, race cars, coachbuilt luxury marques plus significant unrestored and original automobiles.
The Ironstone Concours d'Elegance weekend begins with a Friday evening Cars & Stars wine tasting, dinner and auction. The concours itself takes place on Saturday, climaxed by an awards ceremony. Class winners drive onto the Ironstone Amphitheatre stage to receive their trophies. Among regular participants are Reno’s National Auto Museum, the California Automotive Museum in Sacramento, the Blackhawk Museum in Dublin and San Francisco’s Academy of Art University auto collection.
Proceeds from the Ironstone Concours d’Elegance benefit Central and Northern California youth in agriculture, notably Future Farmers of America (FFA) and 4-H. In addition, the non-profit Ironstone Foundation has helped fund the California State FFA headquarters in Galt CAlifornia; scholarships in partnership with the California State Fair; and the Calaveras County Fair scholarship program.

We're Back!
We are back online after a much too long absence. Life became a bit overwhelming with too much external stuff going on, so we had to take a break. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do...
Ironstone is excited to announce we are in the process of planning our 25th Anniversary Spring Obsession Art Show & Competition! That being said, plans are underway for a big bang this next year.
This past year, due to events beyond our control, we were forced to eliminate the Opening Celebration of this exhibit and create a wonderful though soft closing event. This turned out to be a wonderful success for all our participating artists. So much so that we have decided to move forward with a great closing event again this year to celebrate. The weekend selected is June 11 & 12, when we should be out of the rainy season with more stable weather. Mark you calendars!
And stay tuned for more details as they come up!

SOLD "Passing Storm" by Ann Nall
SOLD O-001 Passing Storm by Ann Nall acrylic 24x36 |
"Passing Storm" has caught the eye of many of our Gallery guests. With its turbulent brush strokes and warm colors, it speaks of winter storms or crashing waves. Hope you were able to visit Ironstone's 24th Annual Spring Art Show. Spectacular exhibit with outstanding art work. Thank you to all the participating artists who shared their works with us.
