“SKETCHY!” CLOSING RECEPTION
August 2, 2024 – 6-9pm
It’s hard to believe, but the last few weeks have flown by and we are nearing the end of the show run! Please join us in the gallery on Friday August 2 from 6-9pm for one last round and for our special POLITIC Japhey Dow “Liberty Pole” board release!
RSVP: https://www.facebook.com/events/857231749643976
We’ve been saving this one for last! We are SO stoked to work with our friends at POLITIC to release a special board only available here in Rochester. Debuting at the closing reception on Friday August 2 (6-9pm), we’re proud to release the Politic Japhey Dow “Liberty Pole” board with graphics by Benj Gleeksman. For those who don’t know, Japhey Dow is Rochester’s first/only professional skateboarder (he rips!), and creating a board that paid tribute to Rochester’s most iconic skatespot simply seemed a must.
This will be a run of 50, graphics printed using heat-transfer, available at the closing reception for $60 (tax included).
See you there!
