SURF’S UP IN MANHATTAN:
Style Sessions Art Exhibit at Milk Gallery on May 26th; Charitable Silent Auction benefiting Boarding for Breast Cancer

On May 26th, Style Sessions begins a nine-day art exhibit (May 26 - June 3) at Milk Gallery in New York City with an opening reception and silent auction to benefit breast cancer awareness. A portion of proceeds from art sales go to Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC), a youth-focused educational outreach foundation with a mission to increase awareness about breast cancer, the importance of early detection, and the value of a healthy lifestyle.

Style Sessions partnered with renowned artist, William Quigley, to organize and produce a series of 75 original art works on skateboard decks. The exhibit includes contributions from 50 Cent, Tony Alva, Hope Atherton, Peter Beard, Art Brewer, Marc Chiat, Andy Dick, Hazel Dooney, Pete Francis, Carla Gannis, Michael Halsband, Attila Richard Lukacs, Barry McGee, Anthony Migliaccio, Lance Mountain, Steve Olson, Shaquille O'Neal, Stacy Peralta, Shelter Serra, Peter Tunney, and Robin Williams. Skull Skates donated a majority of the skateboards.

On May 28th, Style Sessions hosts a free-ride skateboard and photo competition where riders are judged in a surf style format. Best Rider receives a free trip to the Tokyo Style Sessions in the fall of 2005. Best Photographer receives $1,000 in printing and digital imaging services courtesy of Sumo Graphics along with publication in several magazines including Concrete Wave.

Style Sessions proudly supports Stoked and their Skate Mentor program, which launches June 4th. Stoked is an action sports mentoring program whose mission is to develop successful teens with opportunity, knowledge, experience, and determination. Stoked exposes at-risk youth to new environments and experiences through skateboarding, surfing, and snowboarding, while engaging in a positive mentoring relationship.

On June 3rd, TriStar Pictures presents the major motion picture Lords of Dogtown in theaters across North America. In honor of the original Z Boys surf-skate team, The Lords of Dogtown Art Tour, consisting of more than 60 pieces of artwork, joins the Style Sessions Exhibit from May 31 - June 3 at Milk Gallery. Select pieces from the tour are being auctioned to raise additional money for Boarding for Breast Cancer. On June 1st, Style Sessions hosts the Lords of Dogtown VIP reception including cast and celebrities from the motion picture, and some of the legendary Z boys.

Since its inception in November 2003, Milk Gallery has played an integral role in supporting original artists and designers and many philanthropies while at the same time providing emerging and established talent with an ideal exhibition space.
