In the tradition of pairing contrasts in order to create new mediums of expression, ISM: a community project presents, SK8OLOGY an exhibition that combines skateboard counter culture with the world of fine art.
On Saturday August 23, 2008 the ISM: gallery will host the opening exhibition, showcasing over 150 creative deck canvases from some of the most poignant and significant active artists (including Amy Sol, Audrey Kawasaki, Chet Zar, Craig Stecyk, Erik Otto, Ken Garduno, Jason Maloney, Joshua Clay, Mike Shinoda, Munk One, Patrick Martinez, and more) and professional skaters.
The show will then 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 ambitious girls from developing countries a secure environment for learning and growth. Proceeds will also contribute to benefiting the youth of our society through the artistic enrichment of our community.
