SKATING BEYOND SKATING, ART YOU’VE NEVER SEEN ON A BOARD, HELPING YOUTH A SKATEBOARD AT A TIME” these are the words that define outreach company The Skateroom. The Skateroom invites contemporary artists to interpret skate culture by creating art on skateboards. The Skateroom produces, promotes and sells these limited edition skateboards to support non-profit projects that empower children through skateboarding and art. Recently they teamed up with the estate of American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat to produce limited edition series sets of three skateboard decks, each carrying the art of the late Jean-Michel Basquiat. If you’re interested in purchasing any of these items going towards a great cause you can buy all three sets now for 400 euros or buy individual decks for 160 euros online at The Skateroom’s website, Colette, and MoMA stores in New York City.
