All consignor proceeds from the sale of the present lot to benefit Skate School Santa Fe, NM

Since its founding by Joe Lehm over twenty years ago, Skate School Santa Fe has specialized in teaching the fundamentals of all styles of skateboarding, certifying instructors and preserving the unique history and vocabulary of the sport. During the 2011 Santa Fe Indian Market, Skate School hosted their first Indian Market Skate and Art event, conceived as a response to a lack of gathering spaces and activities for the youth during the annual Indian Market. The event was a huge success with a great turnout to see live art, music and skateboarding; Skate School has continued hosting the annual event during Indian Market ever since.

In the first year of the event skateboarder and filmmaker Razelle Benally (Oglala Lakota/Diné), who was attending IAIA at the time, invited many young emerging Native artists, musicians and skateboarders to come and add to the experience. Skateboarder Riley Edge created the present lot on site in 2019 and cites T.C. Cannon and Jean 'Moebius' Giraud as influences.
