‘Skateboard Evolution’ exhibition
An exhibition that traces the evolution of the skateboard from pre-1950 to the present will run in the California Heritage Museum from November 14 - May 30, 2010.
The exhibition is guest curated by legendary Z-boy Nathan Pratt in conjunction with advisory committee members of Zephyr co-founders Jeff Ho and Skip Engblom, 1966 Hobie Champ Cris Dawso, Z-Boys Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta, and 1980’s world champion Christian Hosoi.
It features more than 275 rare boards from the world’s finest collections including Skate Designs Inc., Skatelab Skatepark, and South Bay Skates and photography and art from people like C.R. Stecyk III and Glen E. Friedman.
Talks, photo exhibits, guest appearances, autograph sessions and film screenings including Dogtown and Z-Boys, Skater Dater and Rising Son: The Christian Hosoi Story will take place both at the museum and the downtown Santa Monica Public Library throughout the exhibition.
