Skate Nymphs at Bakehouse

Art, community and skating come together in a multidisciplinary afternoon program at Bakehouse Art Complex. Visitors will engage with Strange Natures, the exhibition currently on view in the Swenson Gallery, through a collaborative zine-making workshop and outdoor skate session hosted by local collective Skate Nymphs.

Skate Nymphs at Bakehouse takes place Saturday, June 28 from 1 to 6 p.m. and kicks off with an artist-led walkthrough of Strange Natures, followed by a hands-on workshop led by Bakehouse artist Christine Cortes. Participants will learn how to transfer images using essential oils while contributing to a community zine inspired by the exhibition and the Skate Nymphs collective. From 3 to 6 p.m., the event shifts outdoors for an open skate and zine hang on the Bakehouse patio. Skaters should bring their own gear, as this session is intended for those with previous experience.

Attendees are invited to submit personal images in advance for inclusion in the zine by emailing them to christinecortesphotography@gmail.com. Complimentary beverages will be served, including yerba mate courtesy of Yerba Mate. Entry is through the pedestrian gate by the yellow building facing 32nd Street. Admission is free and all are welcome.
