Fairbank Summerfest is a street festival in the Eglinton Ave. West region of Toronto, at the corner of Dufferin and Eglinton. This year Art on Deck participated for the first time in the festival and featured some local and regional artists from across Ontario.
Art on Deck’s mission is to help support the growth of skateboarding by elevating and promoting independent, local, regional and national artists and skateboard brands.
Art on Deck partnered with Ontario fine artists, Gloria Kagawa and Sandy Richter to release 2 original designs on limited edition skateboard decks, produced in Quebec by a professional skateboarding manufacturer.
The event was a huge success as Art on Deck was able to connect and partner with folks who are interested in art, skateboarding in and around the Eglinton Ave. West area. This area of Toronto, has seen a growth in the popularity of skateboarding, and they look forward to helping promote skateboarding and art in the Eglinton Ave. West area for many years to come.
Art on Deck partners with artists to create limited edition skateboard designs produced in a professional skateboard factory. They strive to keep as much of their business within Canada as possible by working with Canadian artists, designers, and manufacturers.
