Steph Walker just hipped us to this great art auction benefiting Contributor.
(Contributor works to get skateboards in the hands of at risk kids across Canada)
Here’s what they have to say:
We’ve teamed up with Society6 (www.society6.com) and Club Mumble
(www.clubmumble.com) to curate our second art show in support of
Contributor. Building on the success of last year’s group show, “One Way
Or Another” plays upon the personal nature of a skateboard. Things like
how you grip your board, how loose your trucks are, and heck, how you know
that the size of your wheels down to the slightest of millimeters will
make the hugest difference. In the end, this little wooden toy seems to
be made just for you.
Combining an open call at Society6 and a group of specially invited guests
(curated by Andy Jenkins, Bob Kronbauer, Sandro Grison, Justin Cooper,
Mike Giles & Annie Lam), we have selected over 40 artists/collectives from
around the world to create original artwork on full-size blank maple
decks. These specially made boards will be sold at our online shop
(www.wearecontributors.bigcartel.com), with all the proceeds going
directly back to getting skateboards to kids across Canada.
What makes this project unique is that rather than people buying a already
finished piece of artwork, their purchase will commission an artist/studio
to make a board especially for them, so when it arrives, it’s an awesome
surprise – kind of like a familiar chocolate with a hidden tasty centre!
