“The “Skate Craft” exhibition at the @mingeimuseum in San Diego’s Balboa Park is opening in November and will be a must see on any Skateboarding Fan’s calendar.

Stay up on the Mingei Museum’s site. “Skate Craft celebrates skateboarding’s true “Do-It-Yourself” values, tracing its evolution from the early days of making decks in garages and building ramps from found lumber to the handcrafted works of art seen today.
Experience how skateboarding nurtures creativity, self-expression, and joy through artisanal craftsmanship. The progression of skateboard design, safety gear, and skate shoes, alongside the inventive machines that facilitated their creation, is driven by skaters taking it upon themselves to push boundaries.”
