Description

RANGE Magazine x Polaris Music Prize Present: DECK THE WALLS A skateboard art show in collaboration with Oasis Skateboard Factory Featuring works of thrashing art inspired by past Polaris Music Prize nominees Dan Mangan, Shad, Japandroids, Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Mac DeMarco, and Black Mountain. Thursday, March 7, 2024 | 8 p.m. at It’s Okay (East Vancouver) Featuring DJ Kookum (Snotty Nose Rez Kids) **Seating is available on a first come first serve basis** __ Designed and manufactured by the students of the Oasis Skateboard Factory — an alternative school program for Grade 11 and 12 students in Toronto — they’ve created one-of-a-kind skate decks using similar principles as the Polaris Poster program, where visual artists listen to past Polaris-nominated albums to create “inspired by” works of art. In an interview with RANGE Magazine, one of the student artists said: “It’s exciting to make art that represents us, but also represents these massive artists. And knowing that it’s going to be displayed in a show for others to see is really cool.” These skateboards will be displayed from March 7 to April 11 at It’s Okay (2481 East Hastings St.).
