KAY GRUBOLA

July 22, 2015 – Kay moderated the Kentucky to the World event with Bill Porter who discussed the creative evolutionary journey and inspirational recipes for the fusion of engineering and art that sparked some of the world’s hottest automobile designs and trends.

 Kay Grubola, the daughter of a Chrysler executive, grew up in the car culture of Detroit during the muscle car era. Having been offered the rare opportunity as a youth to see some of the secret concept drawings she never forgot the power and excitement of the work. An artist and independent curator, she conceived and assembled Designing an Icon, Creativity and the American Automobile, the first major exhibition of original automotive concept drawings in America. A close relationship with Bill Porter resulted from working together on the exhibit and continues today.
