Featuring world-renowned emerging artists in the music and art scenes, the [Harley-Davidson Art of Rebellion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reimagined-exclusivelydesigned-motorcycles) exhibit, held in New York on October 17th, encompasses a defiant spirit that allows for a connection between the old and new.

Included in the artistic talent at the Harley-Davidson Art of Rebellion show are Art Chantry, Brian Ewing, Derek Hess, Dirty Donny, and Harpoon, among with other acclaimed artists known for their rocker-style artwork. With a portion of the proceeds going to CUE Art Foundation, a non-profit forum for contemporary art, each artist will also display a [painted Harley-Davidson Iron 883TM gas tank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Tattoo-Inspired-Land-Rover) along with their signature art posters at the show.
