Lexus Gives Auto Enthusiasts a Combination of Luxury, Art, and Entertainment at The Miami International Auto Show

With a special appearance by Lexus' "Art Galleries & Back Alleys" and performances by Duina Del Mar, PALO!, and more!









MIAMI, Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lexus will entertain auto enthusiasts with its Lexus Listening Lounge at The Miami International Auto Show, where it will showcase its latest luxury vehicles including the completely redesigned 2013 Lexus ES 350. Throughout the week, the Lexus Listening Lounge will feature performances by prominent musical acts. Additionally, visitors will be able to view the Lexus "Art Galleries & Back Alleys" project, a unique collaboration by two internationally recognized Hispanic artists who transformed a Lexus CT 200h into a work of art.

"The Lexus Listening Lounge gives people an opportunity to enjoy top-notch talent while viewing all the new models in the Lexus line-up for 2013," said Brian Smith, Lexus vice president of marketing. "Combining the Lexus Listening Lounge with this innovative art project brings a new and exciting cultural dimension to the Lexus Auto Show display."

Recently seen on "Good Day LA" and "American Latino TV," "Art Galleries & Back Alleys" is making its Miami debut. Once a prototype, ready to be crushed and recycled, this Lexus CT 200h was put in the hands of two prominent Hispanic artists, Patssi Valdez and Vyal Reyes. They explored the intersections between engineering and art, luxury and culture--and created a masterpiece that incorporates the expressions and techniques often featured in Hispanic art.

The Lexus Listening Lounge will feature live music by top artists including Colombian born Duina Del Mar; Winner of Miami New Times ' Best Band 2012 Readers' Choice Award, PALO!; Puerto Rican hip-hop and pop artist, JAN; Urban/Pop Duo's from Puerto Rico, Domino Saints; Two-time Grammy nominated artist, Locos Por Juana; Modern Pop group, Hola Hi; and Latin groove, rock and reggae musicians, Araka.
