The United States Art Authority will host “Art on Deck,” an exhibit of selected skateboards on loan from local private collector Warren McKinney. “This show is a fundraiser for the Austin EcoSchool, and this unique event should appeal to a wide range. There are a few decks from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s, but most are from the 90’s through recent issues. They include one-of-a-kind prototypes, signed limited editions, rare foreign releases, and some ‘holy grails’ among skateboard collectors. The main focus is on the artwork itself – it just happens to use a skateboard as its canvas.”
