Jason's Basement: 20 Years of Skateboard Collecting

  • Illuminated Brew Works 6186 North Northwest Highway Chicago, IL, 60631 United States (map)

Come celebrate the history of skateboard art as IBW co-owner Jason Monk shares his full collection of skateboard decks & paraphernalia from the recesses of his dark and lonely basement.

This will be the first time his entire collection has been on display in one place outside of the basement. And, to extend the celebration to the larger part of the community, J has called on some of his favorite local artists to paint one-off skateboard decks for a charity raffle benefitting the rebuild of the Logan Square skate park.

Artists Include:

Aaron Stockwell @aaron_stockwell_tattoo

A’keem Muhammad @aiselife

John Forbes @blackpiscesprints

Angel Silva @debso.art

Katey Bunny Rafanello @bunnymarshmallo

Lawrence Dobson @larryurabastard

Eric Sorensen @Sorensen.art

The decks will be up June 24-27th with a Opening reception at 7pm on Saturday, June 25th. Come meet the artists and mingle.

Raffle tickets will be available all four days with the drawing Monday June 27th. Winner need not be present to collect their deck, we can reach out to you. But, damn, wouldn’t it be more fun if you were there?

Come on out and reminisce about how the hell we used to ride these tanks!
