Inaugural PlaneTags Festival


We are thrilled to host the first ever PlaneTags Festival on Friday, November 5th through Saturday November 6th, 2021. If you have not ordered a ticket, you can do so here.

 

MotoArt Studios


MotoArt PlaneTags is opening the doors to the shop and rolling out the red carpet. We’re stocking the store and getting things ready for our inaugural festival. MotoArt owner Dave Hall has been wanting to hold a customer appreciation event for some time, and the 20th anniversary of MotoArt is the perfect time to kick this off. Here’s what to expect and answers to some of the questions we’ve been asked.

Friday, November 5th - 6pm - 10pm


Kick off the festival with us Friday night. No one throws a party like MotoArt and our attendees will see this first hand. Enjoy delicious food and drinks, music, and getting to know the MotoArt PlaneTags crew and other attendees. Our shop will be closed for sales during the Friday night festivities.

Saturday, November 6th - 10am - 4pm


We’re packing a whole lot of fun in an afternoon’s time. Attendees will have the opportunity to set up their own table to display their PlaneTags collections and do some trading. We will have an open forum to participate in, a "Twenty Years of MotoArt" presentation, and an intimate discussion with Carl Scholl of Aero Trader. Attendees will also receive a special gift and a chance to win some incredible prizes. Best of all - we’ll get to see old friends and form new friendships as we bond over our joy of collecting PlaneTags.

Frequently Asked Questions


If I order a ticket to the Festival but don’t attend, can I still have the Festival PlaneTag?

A: No, the Special Edition Festival PlaneTag is for those attending the Inaugural PlaneTags Festival in person. 


Will there be an opportunity to buy the Special Edition Festival PlaneTags at a later day? 

Yes, tags remaining will be made available at a later date. The proceeds will be donated to charity. An announcement will be made at a later date. 


I can’t make it to this Festival, will you be having another one near me? 

Whether it is because of COVID travel restrictions or just not workable due to schedule or budget, we’re truly sorry not everyone can make it. In a perfect world we would set a date that worked for all of us and could fly everyone in. What we can do is open the doors to our business in Torrance, California and invite everyone who can make it to have the time of their lives. We hope that this will be the first of many PlaneTags Festivals and many more will be able to attend next time.


How big of a PlaneTags display can I bring? 

Attendees will receive a questionnaire to let us know what they are bringing and how big of a display area they will require. We’re looking forward to seeing creative displays or interesting collections and personal favorites. 


Are masks required? 

As per California COVID protocols, "masks are required for unvaccinated people and recommended for everyone in indoor public places."   https://covid19.ca.gov/masks-and-ppe/
