January 27, 2010 – March 21, 2010

The Opening Reception was awesome but the show is still on thru March 21 – so go catch it!

Skate and Create began as a fundraiser for POUR IT NOW and has become a favorite annual event.  POUR IT NOW has partnered with the Columbia Museum of Art to present another fresh group of skateboarding inspired artists as well as select works from past Skate and Create fundraisers.  The artists will each have a panel with their own personal display.

Thirty year veteran skateboard park designer, Wally Hollyday has worked with the skateboarders of SC to create a design that everyone is anxious to see realized.

Designs for the first custom concrete skateboard park in South Carolina.

Three years of work from countless volunteers and a huge commitment from the City assisted POUR IT NOW in securing the $25,000 Tony Hawk Foundation grant for this skateboard park. The project was championed by former City Council woman, Anne Sinclaire and backed by Mayor Bob and the rest of City Council. The City of Columbia fully embraced the concept of encouraging and harnessing the high level of energy skateboarders possess.

The skatepark will provide a safe haven for kids like Jack Winburn to recreate away from traffic.

This park will provide a safe haven for Columbia’s youth, enabling them to participate in healthy physical activity in a public place away from traffic.

We have a couple events going on this year. The event is spread out across the week-end. Here’s the rundown for all you skate rats.

Saturday June 20, 2009 – 11am-2pm; Fifth Avenue Deli: 2910 Rosewood Dr Columbia, SC
Bluetile Skateboards is bringing out the ramps and rails for the kiddos. This event will be chill – all about skating. Roll on down and help us shred the parking lot from 11am-2pm.

Sunday June 21, 2009 – Noon-Until; Ackerman Skatepark Charleston SC
The Charleston Committee is pulling out all the stops for this one! Jump castles, refreshments, a new skateable sculpture is being unveiled and there’s an after party at The Park in North Charleston! All that, and the event is on the real go skateboarding day which also happens to be Father’s day. What better way to spend time with the kids?

Wherever you are make sure you skate this weekend and if you can make it go to both events. We hope to see you skating with us at one of the events!
