skatedeck design exhibit
The Works International Visual Arts Society and IDEA are bringing back the annual FROST design exhibit which is slated for early December 2006 (4th to 9th)
This time out the focus shifts from furniture design to skate and longboard design.
The objective of this year's exhibit is to focus on the skateboard/ longboard design culture. From its early history to visions of the future,*FROST will explore the many aspects of the board from graphics to accessories and its relationship with the end user.Apart from the graphics component, the exhibit also has a Conceptual category where designers are asked to create outside the normal realm of skate design with items such as custom deck designs, apparel and skate environments.
Designers are asked to create a graphic of their choice for a blank skate deck and/or longboard deck. All submissions will be juried by IDEA and 30 skate decks and 30 longboard decks will be chosen for production.
Olive Skateboardsª will be printing the winning graphics onto their respective decks that will be displayed and sold by silent auction at *FROST2006.
Submissions are currently being accepted until September 21st with the chosen entries being named early October.
