URBAN EXPLORER KNOXVILLE
CLICK HERE TO BID!
An event celebrating the history of skateboarding in Knoxville, TN and the storytellers who have lived it.
On Friday, September 2, KCM will launch an online auction of original artwork on skateboards from artists all over the country. These works will help us realize our vision of moving to a more accessible location where we will be able to become a communicative arts center that provides training in film, video, print media, storytelling, and other forms of responsible media to at-risk youth, the economically challenged, our international community, disabled community, and others who may be at a disadvantage to have their beliefs, dreams, values, and free expression heard. We are also planning an artist residency for digital media artists and film makers and a gallery space to share the work of these artists and others in the community.
This event will close on Friday, October 7 with an in-person auction where final bids can be placed. The evening will also host around half a dozen feature-length skateboard films that have been created in Knoxville, TN with a Q&A session with the filmmakers. The evening will close with a newly produced film that will be accompanied by a live improvisational musical performance from local musician Matt Nelson and friends.
