Both gained immense popularity going into the 1980\u2019s creating generations of devoted fans and successful consumer related brands that continue to thrive. As part of our June exhibit \u201cDeathstar Blues\u201d we will be hosting a \u201cFirst Look\u201d of new Star Wars merchandise from two iconic American brands \u2013 Vans Shoes and Santa Cruz Skateboards. We will also have an exhibit of Star Wars inspired artwork featuring Axel Geittmann, Sket-One, RYCA, Hari &amp; Deepti and The Gropes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The show runs until June 20, 2014.
