What Will Guests Experience at Curated by Lexus?

Experiences within Curated by Lexus include a Creator Studio, pairing electrified vehicles with artwork from the designers and creatives who shape Lexus culture. Featured artist Alex Alpert contributes a large-scale mural and interactive installation created exclusively for the activation, rendered in his stream-of-consciousness illustration style.

The space also features the Garden of Discovery, a bamboo garden that tells the story of the brand’s role in mobility innovation. Lexus says the installation is intended to introduce electrification in an engaging way, set against one of Northern California’s premier shopping and dining destinations.
