Art, Skate & Social Change

 

Getting the right people in the room: that’s how we accelerate impact. It’s our pleasure to welcome THE SKATEROOM to the room.

THE SKATEROOM brings together the worlds of social impact, art and skateboarding. A certified B Corp, they fund projects in youth empowerment and education through the sales of their editions: limited runs of skateboard decks with graphics from the biggest names in art — Ai Weiwei, Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman, Paul McCarthy, Jenny Holzer, Grayson Perry. Through their partnerships, they’ve built communities among young skateboarders from Afghanistan to Peru.

All this has earned THE SKATEROOM a reputation as impactful innovators (a reputation as golden as Mark Gonzales'). They blazed their path to scale in ways worth telling the world about — and founder, and Brussels native, Charles-Antoine Bodson will do just that at Impact Week.

THE SKATEROOM’s presence will be as unique as their mission: a gathering at their fully-skatable Brussels HQ on Wednesday night, an art exhibition at the Impact Week venue, talks, stories and data — they’ll all combine to tell the tale of these trailblazers of impact.

Bring your skateboard!
