Ann Arbor, March 18 – The Ann Arbor Skatepark Action Committee (AASAC) and Vault of Midnight are proud to host the 2009 Ann Arbor Skatepark Art Show on May 15 from 7:00-10:00 pm. The show will be held at the Vault of Midnight, 219 S. Main St., Ann Arbor, MI 48104.

For this free, public event, fifty artists will be custom designing and painting skate decks to be judged by a panel of judges. Artists include Jim Mahfood, Triston Eaton, BLOKT, AZK One, Corryn Jackson, Jeremy Bastian, Jay Brant and many more! The winners will be selected from within youth and adult categories and the winning decks will be placed up for silent auction. Runner’s up will also be available for sale. 100% of the proceeds will benefit the AASAC.

Free food will be provided by Trader Joes and live music will be played throughout the evening by Mogi Grumbles, Charles Trees, and DJ Ornate.

All of the decks will be displayed at Vault of Midnight for two weeks before touring the city as a traveling exhibit. The Art Show will be part of a weekend of free events aimed at raising awareness about the AASAC and the construction of a free, public skatepark in Ann Arbor for the use of its residents.
