The California Heritage Museum in Santa Monica, California is presenting a show guest curated by “legendary Z-Boy Nathan Pratt.” Pratt is working with a pretty heavy crew on the project including:
Michael Trotter and advisory committee members Jeff Ho, Skip Engblom (Zephyr co-founders), Cris Dawson (1966 Hobie Champ), Z-Boys Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta, and 1980’s world champion Christian Hosoi, the exhibition traces the evolution of boards from pre-1950 to the present showcasing the riders, designers, artists, and manufacturers that created the California phenomenon known as the skateboard.
The show, which opens November 14, 2009, will feature 275 rare skateboards from the collections of “Jason Cohn, Dale Smith/Skate Designs Inc., Todd Huber/Skatelab Skatepark, Ray Flores, James Lang/South Bay Skates.” The exhibit will include film screenings, talks, photo exhibits and guest appearances and will run through May 30, 2010.
