The grand opening for the Swell Art Show in New York City is today (July 1) in the Chelsea neighborhood. The exhibit takes place in four different locations, however the relevant gallery is the NYEHaus, a hard to find house turned gallery located at 358 W 20th Street (between 8th and 9th avenue). Three excellent surf/skate artists are on display there, Steve Olson, Craig Stecyk, and Michael Halsband. After the jump are some pictures from the preview last night. The show is from July 1st till August 6th.

Mark Gonzales made an appearance early in the evening.

At the end of the night we headed over to the water and got on a sail boat, at which point I spent the rest of the evening talking with the mother of Snoop Dog’s producer over glasses of $300 tequila.
