“SMILE ON YOUR BROTHER” Premiering Summer 2009

Conceived by Mike Giles and Annie Lam and co-curated by Bob Kronbauer of www.clubmumble.com fame, “Smile On Your Brother” , is an art show centered around the original shape of skateboards when they first hit mass production. This seemed the perfect canvas to launch the contributor campaign.
The idea behind not only the show, but also overall project is to hopefully inspire people to think about their first skateboard and what it meant to them. For many skaters, this still represents a pivotal moment in their lives, with every last little detail, fresh in their minds. Bringing together contemporary artists both in, and affected by the skateboard industry to help raise funds to go towards the first goal of Contributor which is to donate 100 skateboards to disadvantaged youth across Canada in 2009/2010.

The Travelling part of the show will be appearing at Livstock across the country from:
August 24th-26th 2009
LIVESTOCK (VANCOUVER)
Sept 4th-6th 2009
LIVESTOCK (CALGARY)
