Simply put, skateable art pieces are skating obstacles with an artistic flair. Rather than relying on the traditional skate park model, Skateable Art utilizes concrete sculptures to create unique terrain where the innovation of skateboarders can truly flourish. With compelling shapes that rival the work of elite sculptural artists and unique colors and textures, Skateable Art can regenerate any public space. Whether it’s adding on to an existing skate park or building a park path with a series of pieces, Skateable Art is the perfect solution for multifunctional art that is aesthetically pleasing.
The majority of skate park projects are eligible for public art funding, which means the chances of procuring funding for your Skateable Art installation are quite promising. Depending on your city and the types of grants available, a certain percentage of the project’s budget can be paid for with funding set aside for public art. Most cities also allocate funding for “Beautification” projects that make visual improvements to urban areas. This often involves planting trees and other greenery, as well as incorporating some form of artwork into the landscape.
