Pivot: Skateboard Deck Art

Artists of many tribes and backgrounds transform 100 blank skateboard decks into a colorful and diverse collection. From traditional carvers to contemporary painters, the decks on display represent a pivotal moment in Native American art, as a young generation combines traditional imagery and techniques with modern interpretations and canvases. Guest curators Duane Koyawena (Hopi) and Landis Bahe (Navajo) chose to provide all the artists the same, unique canvas so the resulting exhibition expresses both diversity and unity.
