The Arbor Collective presents long time art & design contributors Blaine Fontana & Zach Johnsen with a collaborative installation at the Timesinfinity gallery inside the evo store in Seattle.
This legendary design has been part of the line since day one, fueling the ride everything addiction with powerful performance on mountain, in the park, and beyond; expect excellent initiation, return, and control, day in and day out.
It’s not the equipment; it’s the rider! Though in many cases, the choice of equipment can depict the style of the rider. The vast selection of longboarding gear on the market allows riders to get a feel for what works for them. The longboard companies who have sponsored Greener Pastures offer some of the best diversity of longboarding gear available, in the highest quality.
An exponential evolution of equipment started in the early 2000s when most of the Greener Pastures sponsors began developing their roots in a wider community. These manufacturers started a tidal wave of creation in which the riders guided their direction. The steps to make products lighter, stronger, faster, safer has been seen through the test of time, and riders chose the most reliable products, which simply worked.
Arbor celebrates longtime art and design contributors Blaine Fontana & Zach Johnsen in a night of art, up-cycling, book signings, frivolity and a furious passion for reclaimed materials for an imaginative environmental experience. Collaborating with Arbor, the artists are echoing the company’s rooted practice using sustainable materials for their products. The entire show is comprised of all reclaimed, recycled, or repurposed wood/media, only two sheets of plywood were bought to create this highly involved, rich and detailed dreamy “Camp Fire” scene.
More than half of the installation is available, making for over 60 items for sale at a wide range of prices. Fontana and Johnsen are also showing several brand new collaborative paintings made exclusively for the event.
Lastly, Fontana will be happily signing his new book “Amalgamate,” a 108 page harbound book featuring over 75 full-color plates of his recent art and design during the opening.
“We look forward to seeing all our friends and fans at the event,” says Fontana and Johnsen. “It’s going to be a great night for art and the environment.”
“Evo has been a strong supporter of Arbor Skateboards, Snowboards and Apparel,” says John Crouch, Arbor’s northwest sales representative. “This event is solid way for Arbor to get more involved with Evo while including our products, artists and friends of the collective in a unique way. Evo has created something special with their art gallery, party atmosphere and cult following that is going to make this a night to remember.”
