Philanthropic initiative Sidewayz Art Exhibition returns in 2012 boasting the largest lineup of artists in Sidewayz history. Their work represents the reincarnation of over 110 scathed, scratched, bound and broken skate and snowboards.
The boards may have been damaged or discarded, destined to be forgotten, but at Paddington’s Global Gallery on Thursday 23rd August, Sidewayz will demonstrate the power of a little love and a fresh lick of paint to inspire a fresh direction.
Presenting partners Westsyde Connection and Balmoral Boards have intended for Sidewayz to be a tool of empowerment since the project’s inception in 2007. The shows have created opportunities for emerging artists to exhibit alongside contemporary greats. Each edition of Sidewayz has existed as a totem of collaboration and community spirit that defines the art and board sport culture from which the project stems.
Perhaps the most important element of Sidewayz is its charitable goals. To date, Sidewayz has raised over $13,000 for various charities. This year, proceeds from the sale of the recycled skateboards, snowboards & photography will be donated to Voice, an organisation with head quarters in Australia and Cambodia. Voice seeks to aid and empower disadvantaged people who themselves may have been damaged or discarded and who are in need of a little bit of hope.
“Sidewayz is helping Voice to bring art and play into the lives of children who have spent many hours begging and working on the streets in Cambodia”, Voice Founder & CEO Kristy Fleming said. “It is exciting for us to be associated with such a creative and talented team of artists and professionals”.
