The night
STOKED x The Pit. Fifty artists.
A benefit art auction for mentoring, movement, and every young person who feels alone.
For more than twenty years, STOKED has met young people where they are: on a skateboard, a snowboard, a surfboard. We pair action sports with mentors who keep showing up, so kids build the confidence, resilience, and community that carry them well beyond the board. Too many young people are growing up lonely. A board, a crew, and a mentor who stays is how we answer that.
Fifty artists, established, emerging, and culturally aligned, have contributed work that carries the same spirit of risk, creativity, and persistence. Painters, printmakers, and the photographers who shot skateboarding's defining moments, brought together in one exhibition. Every lot funds the work of connecting kids to coaches and coaches to mentors, and grows STOKED's programs in Los Angeles. Artists share in the proceeds and choose their own level of contribution, because a community built on respect starts with how we treat the people who make it.
A curated exhibition in the gallery at The Pit, with a reception and music all night. Bid in the room or online.
