Why are we doing this?
Together, 'Southend' and 'Skateboarding' have lived in the hearts of skateboarders, artists, photographers and film-makers, including hundreds of people, of all ages, spanning over several decades.
Over recent years skateboarding, in it's various forms, have seen a resurgence of interest, not only as an opportunity for artistic expression, but of good exercise, sustainable modes of transport and an opportunity to develop business and community, for those whom are perhaps excluded from other sports, physical or creative outlets.
The Southend Skate Art Exhibition hopes to show positive examples of Skateboarding in the area, both past and present, shining a light on local advocates, groups and art related around the skate and 'alternative' culture.
