More than 2,000 people turned out Saturday, Aug. 23 for the SK8OLOGY exhibition grand opening, and an additional 500 attendees lined the street outside waiting for a chance to see the showcase combining skateboard counter culture with the world of fine art, according to Mark Schmid, CEO of Sk8ology and founder of Syndrome Distribution.
On Saturday August 23, 2008 the ISM: gallery hosted the opening exhibition, displaying more than 150 creative deck canvases from some of the most poignant and significant active artists and professional skaters. The show will now travel to San Diego September 4-6 for the Action Sports Retailer (ASR) Trade Show and off to Florida September 12-14 for the Surf Expo.
Contributing artists and professional skaters are donating their creative deck canvases to raise awareness and resources in an effort to support Now That You Know, a non-profit organization that helps to provide a secure environment for learning and growth for ambitious girls from developing countries. Proceeds will also contribute to benefiting the youth of our society through the artistic enrichment of our community.
