The Detroit Auto Show’s signature luxury automotive experience, The Gallery, will return on Jan. 13, 2026, with a new charitable partner, Forgotten Harvest.
The exclusive evening event, hosted in a premier showcase area of the Detroit Auto Show, will feature more than 50 ultra-luxury and performance vehicles from globally renowned brands such as Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, and Rolls-Royce.
The Gallery will kick off two weeks of Detroit Auto Show programming, serving as the opening celebration for a lineup of industry and media events, public showcases, product reveals, and immersive experiences in the heart of the Motor City.
“This year’s Gallery is more than a showcase of incredible vehicles — it’s a statement about our values,” says Sam Klemet, executive director of the Detroit Auto Dealers Association in Troy, which operates the Detroit Auto Show.
The auto show’s new charitable partner, Forgotten Harvest in Oak Park, rescues surplus food and distributes it to families facing food insecurity.
“By partnering with Forgotten Harvest, we’re turning one of our most elegant nights into one of our most meaningful,” says Klemet. “It’s the start of a new chapter for the show, where luxury and community impact go hand in hand.”
Each ticket sold for The Gallery will help Forgotten Harvest provide thousands of meals to families across southeast Michigan.
“The Gallery has always been a premier event on the auto show calendar,” says Todd Szott, chairman of the Detroit Auto Show and president of Szott Auto Group. “What makes (the 2026 show) special is that attendees will walk away knowing their presence helped fuel something far greater — supporting families in our community. It’s an opportunity for our industry to lead with heart.”
Adrian Lewis, CEO of Forgotten Harvest, says, “We’re honored to partner with the Detroit Auto Show for this exciting and impactful event. The support from The Gallery will directly help us deliver fresh, nutritious meals to those who need it most, while also shining a spotlight on the ongoing issue of food insecurity in our region.”
