I Used To Skate Once

I could have re-written this BUT when fasterlouder have made it this good, why bother! Below is a talk up of the I Used To Skate Once exhibition happening tomorrow night at The Zoo, in Brisbane, which I have STOLEN from fasterlouder.com.au

I Used To Skate Once 5 Opening night l Thursday 25th June l 6pm The Zoo l 703 Ann Street, Fortitude Valley



Wander down Winn St in the Valley (the little one way street next to The Zoo) and you’ll find The Outpost , a retail store with a style that invokes laneway escapades in Melbourne and a unique edge that identifies as a distinctly Brisbane view on local and international culture. From men’s and women’s clothing to books, zines, music and wooden brooches made by John from The Grates *BLUSH, RIGHT?!*, the curatorship of global independent brands and products for the store is annually extended to an art exhibition with a difference.

I Used To Skate Once is a skate art / music event featuring local, interstate and international creative people the hip cats at The Outpost admire. This year, the proceeds from the event will also help Skateistan, Afghanistan’s first skateboarding school that engages youth to promote education, cross cultural engagement, social development and creating opportunities for girls. With over 50 local and international artists showcased and some fine local sounds on offer, this is truly an event not to be missed.

This year’s collective of over 50 local and international artists include: Stefan Marx , French , Jonathan Zawada , Elana Mullaly , Joseph Allen , Trent Whitehead , Mark Drew and many others, as well as live performances from Kirin J Callinan , Secret Birds and Stemford Hiss

The exhibition will continue in-store at The Outpost until the 30th July

I am VERY much looking forward to this!
