Art Institute Recap_ Skateboarding and Art_ Organe County





The Art Institute is located in Costa Mesa, CA. A few weekends ago they held an event to promote their college programs, as well as, hand out scholarships to their devine students of Design. Between the student gallery, live art exhibitions, a skateboard demo, fashion show, and culinary delicacies, there was plenty to do.

How I ended up here was due to my fiance setting up the skateboard course for The Red Bull Demo. This was the first road trip since I'd moved out to AZ from FL, so I was pretty happy to be checking out the scene and tagging along.

The main art exhibit was a group called EVOCAL. Some of their graffitists are shown in the pictures above. For more of a full story on the skateboard side of things click here or go to Sk8 Dirt City.
