Art takes many forms, but at the 7th annual Skate Deck Show, the only form allowed is the shape of a skateboard.

Put together by Art Design Xchange in Portland, the Skate Deck Show is an open call to artists of all mediums and ages to put their work on display, and potentially be sold to the public.

This year’s show brought together more than 230 artists submitting a combined total of 275 boards. Syd Spencer is the ADX community manager and head curator.

She joins us to share more on this year’s show and how it got started.

“Think Out Loud®” broadcasts live at noon every day and rebroadcasts at 8 p.m.

If you’d like to comment on any of the topics in this show or suggest a topic of your own, please get in touch with us on Facebook, send an email to [email protected], or you can leave a voicemail for us at 503-293-1983.
