A highlight of our past shows from around the country.
This October we had the honor of curating Girl Skateboards’ Three Decades of Girl exhibit in celebration of their 30 year anniversary. The show took place in LA’s arts district and featured selections from Girl’s expansive archive of boards, photos, original art, and ephemera. In addition, Girl Skateboards held an eBay auction in conjunction with the exhibition benefiting Deckaid.
On May 6, 2023 the Deckaid exhibit descended upon the Albany Barn in collaboration with Seasons Skateshop. Collectors Tim Anderson (@Bobshirt) and John Arbuckle curated a wall of over 125 skateboards and original art. The show’s special feature “Film to File” was an evolution of NY skateboarding photography featuring work by Charlie Samuels, Giovanni Reda, Ben Colen, and Trevor Culley. Legendary artist Jeremy Fish created a custom Albany inspired board graphic, with a nod to Kenny Reed’s 1st New Deal graphic. A portion of the show’s proceeds benefited Skate for Drew, as well as Noteworthy Resources.
On June 4th 2022, Deckaid is coming to Columbus Ohio’s Bridge Gallery at 400 West Rich from 7-10 pm, with a suggested donation of $20. The show is a carefully curated exhibition of multiple skateboard collections, and will feature an Alien Workshop retrospective, as well as special exhibitions by John Lucero, Jay Croft, Mother, Donny Humes, Lookback Library, and more. A portion of proceeds will benefit Huckleberry House, a safe house for youth in Columbus.
Deckaid Tampa, sponsored by Vans, was a collaboration with SPoT for Tampa Pro on February 28, 2020 at AIA Tampa Bay to benefit Boards for Bros.

The show featured the collections of Tim Anderson, Rich Schroeder, Jesse Geboy, Uprise, and Brendan Seebach, as well as the 41 Years of the Ollie Lookback Library exhibit.
