[Arts and Culture El Dorado]
From fashion, to street art, to the Olympic Games, skateboarding has become an influential fixture in pop culture worldwide. But at its core, it remains a fast-paced, gritty, DIY, risk-laden sport with its roots in rebellion. Arts and Culture El Dorado has teamed up with Motherlode Board Supply Co. and artist Nate Reifke to bring you a visual homage to skateboard culture and its centrality to El Dorado County’s passion for adventure sports.
Bad Apples: Skateboarding and the Misfit Culture of EDC is a wide-ranging exhibition featuring graphic design, painting, DIY repurposing, photography, and video installation – all recognizing the artistry in the act of skateboarding itself.
