All Hands on Deck Custom Skateboard

All Hands on Deck

All Decks on Hand is a skateboard deck art auction to raise money for autism research. The show is a collaboration by After Hours Gallery, the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center, and nearly 200 artists.

These 200 artists are from across the country, Canada, United Kingdom and Arizona and have created custom, one-of-a-kind works of art on skateboard decks and donated their works to After Hours Gallery. The gallery will exhibit the boards and auction them off November 6 through December 4, 2009. On November 7th, the bidding started online. The final art auction takes place on First Friday of December 4th at 8 p.m. at After Hours Gallery.

Join the bidding for Jon’s board here. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the auction of the skateboard decks will benefit SARRC’s Vocational & Life Skills Academy.

Blank, wooden skateboard decks were provided to the artists, including participants from the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center’s (SARRC) Autism Artisans program. The artists then painted, decorated or otherwise covered the deck in art. The artwork styles range from paintings, and mosaics, to photographs, and more.
