"WHEELS OF EXPRESSION" SKATE DECK SHOW & FUNDRAISER

Submission Deadlines:

Request Skate Deck from CAE by March 20, 2024
Completed Deck Due April 25, 2024

The Evergreen Skatepark Coalition was formed to raise funds and awareness towards constructing a new skatepark in Evergreen. In partnership with EPRD, the coalition’s goal is to provide a free public skatepark in a centralized and accessible location providing the youth of Evergreen a safe spot to commune and stay active. You can learn more about the project through their website and Instagram.

ESC’s first fundraiser will be an art deck show (art on skateboard decks) called Wheels of Expression at the Evergreen Brewery on the evening of May 2nd. They are recruiting local artists to contribute their work to decks which will be auctioned off that evening with 100% of the proceeds going towards funding the construction of the new skatepark. There will also be cash prizes for artist awards sponsored by CAE. It’ll be a great event bringing together local artists, skaters, community members, and those passionate about providing more outdoor activities for youth in Evergreen! If you’d like to get creative on a deck or want to get involved please reach out to Matt Buzas at mattbuzas80@gmail.com.
