Description

Skate Haven, a grassroots organization that uses skateboarding as a vehicle for positive impact, will transform MASS MoCA’s Courtyard D into a pop-up skatepark for a skate jam featuring clinics, a best trick contest, and product giveaways. The space will be filled with obstacles built by MASS MoCA’s fabrication team as well as obstacles built by program participants in the 3-day Skateparks, Arts, and Advocacy program. No matter their skill level, or whether participants are local to the Berkshires or visiting from out of town, the afternoon promises something for everyone. All skaters in the Northern Berkshires are invited for a day of shredding and sharing. No previous skateboard experience is needed, and beginner participation is encouraged. Skate Haven’s clinics will review skateboard fundamentals in a simple, straightforward way that provides new insights to skaters of all levels. Tickets: $10; Free with museum admission
