Across The Board @ Wallspace Gallery Surry Hills
3 August to 10 August 2007
Across The Board is an innovative exhibition happening in early August at Wallspace Gallery in Surry Hills Sydney. 100 artists from different creative backgrounds were invited to use a skateboard as their canvas and re-create a non-functional object into an expressions of their personaliy ... an artwork.
Across the Board is not a show exclusively about skateboarding. It’s about freedom of expression and the individual– and it celebrates the idea that art, like skateboarding, can be done almost anywhere.
100% of all sale proceeds will be donated to the Cancer Council NSW. Contributing artists include Ken Done, David Egan, Ricky Swallow, Jeremyville, Kill Pixie, Anthony Lister, Michelle Ussher,had Muska, Natas Kaupas, Mike O’Meally plus many more Australian and international artists.
A couple of artists profiled on artsConnect have supported the event by creating & donating skateboard art for the exhibition : George Hambov (Graffiti Artist), Julian Stayte (Painter / Aerosol Artist) and Mark Rhodes (Painter).
