Skate of Mind

National


Skate of Mind is a grassroots, national touring collective of skaters, filmmakers, photographers, and artists. We run community engagement events, workshops, music, art, digital art, projection, and soundscape design in regional communities.

Partnering with renowned skate culture brands Totem and Element, the Skate of Mind team will connect with regional young people through skateboarding, art and music. Promoting skateparks as safe places for connection and expression for the whole community.

After such a successful tour in Tasmania throughout 2023, events have continued throughout 2024 in Wynyard Tasmania, and Pilbara WA. We have many events coming throughout 2025 first of in Sydney with GrlSwirl.

North Tasmania are recommencing this February and continuing until winter. And South Coast NSW events are in planning stages and will be announced soon.

These events are run in partnership with Totem and Element.
