Launch Community Through Skateboarding

07/14/2026

Launch is officially accepting artist submissions for our annual All Hands On Deck group art exhibition and silent auction fundraiser!
We are inviting artists to create unique, one-of-a-kind works of art using blank skateboard decks as their canvas. All proceeds from this auction directly power Launch's vital community outreach efforts and expanding youth programs, allowing us to connect, mentor, and build strong positive pathways for youth through skateboarding.
Swipe through the slides for all the details!
KEY DATES & DETAILS
Submission Deadline: Friday, July 24th
Exhibition Dates: September 9–19
Location: Center for Creativity (200 Mathews St., Fort Collins, CO)
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
A brief artist statement or bio.
A description or sketch of your artwork concept.
