Skate Culture, Art Shine At Art Positions

If skateboarding, punk rock, graffiti and DJs sound like a good time, you might want to head over to Art Positions — an “outpost” of Art Basel Miami Beach featuring skate performances amid “a beachfront village of shipping containers transformed into mobile art spaces.”

During this year’s event — themed “Concrete Waves: Homage to Skate Culture” — 20 giant steel shipping containers, placed around a 70-foot wooden skateboarding ramp on the sand in Collins Park, house projects by up-and-coming artists from as far away as Brazil, China, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Norway and Poland.

Skateboarding legend, Tony Alva will headline a skateboarding demo at the event.
