Partnering with Skate Nottingham for ‘Skateboarding In The City III' festival, Skate Bylines are delighted to present ‘First Light’ — a talk aimed at encouraging new creative voices in skateboarding.
Skateboarding offers multiple creative avenues outside of the act of skateboarding itself. Writing, photography, videography, art, design and brand building are all woven into skate culture. But even for those with the strongest creative itch to scratch, knowing simply how and where to start can be difficult. As part of Skate Nottingham’s 'Skateboarding in the City III' festival, Skate Bylines are hosting ‘First Light’ which hopes to inspire skateboarders in undertaking artistic pursuits.
Chaired by Farran Golding and featuring Sam Ashley, Lizzie Heath, Alexis Lewis and Joe Allen, ‘First Light’ aims to demystify the workings of creative culture and skateboarding media by providing a face-to-face connection which can be so vital in addressing the boundaries of entry. A panel of prominent figures and fresh faces in skate media will share how they got a start in their respective disciplines and talk about themes and curiosities generated by you, the audience.
Named after the Sidewalk Magazine column which introduced emerging talent to the wider UK scene, ‘First Light’ is an opportunity to spark creative passions in an environment that encourages accessibility. We encourage you to participate by suggesting a question or topic to help guide the conversation, when you book your free ticket.
