Pop-Up Skate Art Show in Casselberry, Florida Brings Advocates of All Ages

Skateboard Art Show Recap Video

--

SKATE 32707 – Support A Skatepark In Casselberry, a grassroots community group dedicated to improving recreation opportunities in Casselberry by advocating for, promoting and assisting in the development of a skatepark for the community, will be hosting a Pop-Up Skate Art Exhibition on February 9, 2018 alongside the Casselberry Art House in Lake Concord Park. In addition to showcasing art inspired by skateboarding, the event will also serve as a gathering to inspires all riders – Skateboarding, BMX or any other wheeled sport, to come together to share and enjoy in the history of over 40 years of action sports in the Casselberry area.

There are few people that remember the Longwood Pipeline Skatepark, formerly located on Dog Track Road, but it was a very important park for Central Florida, being one of 22 concrete skateparks built in Florida in the 1970’s. during its heyday, Longwood Pipeline was the subject of a feature article by Jane Casselberry in the Sanford Herald. Collectively, these skateparks gave birth to and inspired many of today’s professional action sports riders who hail from Florida, as well as many who have been enshrined in the Florida Skateboarding Hall of Fame!

As a result of the popularity of action sports, Central Florida is home to BMX companies; Sparky’s Distribution, and Shadow Conspiracy; skateboard brands; Lake Skateboards, Demon Seed & Lockhart Board Company, as well as local skate shops Galactic G, PLUS, Mr. B’s and Catalyst. 

Participants in action sports have long been in the shadow of traditional sports athletes, however these riders are becoming more well-known daily, with appearances in televised coverage of the X-Games, Nike Street League and Vans Skatepark Series. In 2020, the Summer Olympic games in Tokyo will showcase skateboarding as an event for the first time.

Many of the athletes in action sports are artists and without doubt the skateboarding culture is deeply rooted in free expression and artistic freedom. In recognition of the influence of art within the action sports community, this gathering we will be a public showing of art, photography, fashion and videos from these riders, expressing their love for the lifestyle throughout the last 40 years.

We are expecting many of the skaters who founded lifelong friendships at Longwood Pipeline to attend. A showing of historical images and films from the past 40 years will surely be a highlight off the event."
