Art Event Central

Yeah, sorry this has turned out to be Portland event central for the past few days at SNA. I had other plans but you know what they say about the best laid plans and opinions, or is that assumptions? Errrr, yeah. There’s one skate art show (Hecklewood’s Board Pushers) and one skate art auction for charity (Complete Skate) both happening Thursday December 4th in Portland. One of these days someone is actually going to ask me to take part in one of these instead of just posting about it. Hey skateboarding community! I went to art school. I’m an artist! UPDATE: The Complete skate event is just a showing, the auction takes place online.

Click the flyers to go to the respective web sites.

Complete Skate has a Flickr stream of the decks in the show.

Artists include: Amy Ruppel, Chet Childress, TJ Norris, Marne Lucas, Nub and many, many more.  These pieces of art are great gifts and proceeds go to a great cause!   Check out the 48 different works at:  http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/completeskate or in person at Design Within Reach.  We’ll be celebrating the culmination of the exhibit and auction this Thursday, Dec 4 at DWR beginning at 5:30pm. (DWR is at 1200 NW Everett, Portland, OR.)

Remember, on-line bidding ends at 8 pm Thursday, Dec 4.  Happy bidding and THANKS for your support of COMPLETE Skate, a youth development program with a mission of building youth resiliency through school counseling and skateboarding.
