A new art project called Make Skateboards is celebrating skateboard design with a group exhibition and pop-up skate shop at the [I-20 Gallery](http://i-20.com/?ref=protein.xyz) in New York.

The project, which is situated near to the famous [Pier 62 skate park](http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pier-62-skatepark/130495876996083), has commissioned 45 designers to create artwork for the temporary concept space.

The store sells both affordable boards and limited edition silk screen printed boards, as well as a selection of clothes and accessories designed by up-and-coming New York designers.

We've seen other exhibitions recently that focus on skateboarding, such as the Public Domaine at the [La Gaite Lyrique](http://www.gaite-lyrique.net/?ref=protein.xyz) in Paris. Make Skateboards has taken a more nostalgic approach, aiming to recreate the atmosphere of an old skateboard shop. We like the idea, and think the project promises to bring a breath of fresh air into New York’s summer season.
