Arts-Entertainment
Wheatgrass Books invites artists of all backgrounds to participate in Skateboard Art for a Cause, a one-day community art event celebrating creativity, youth culture, and the vital role skateparks play in building strong, connected communities.
Artists are invited to paint, illustrate, or otherwise transform skateboard decks, which will be displayed and auctioned live to raise funds for the local skatepark. The event will take place on Independent Bookstore Day, Saturday, April 25th, at Wheatgrass Books, alongside a special book signing with the authors and photographers of Grit to Grind: Shaping Montana Communities One Skatepark at a Time.
From bold and graphic to subtle, abstract, narrative, or experimental, all artistic styles are welcome. This event is an opportunity for artists to contribute their vision to a cause that supports youth, movement, and community gathering.
