BEATS + SKATES
BEATS + SKATES is a multidisciplinary collective of Toronto-based roller skaters, beat makers and street artists dedicated to using collaborative art making approaches as relational storytelling.
BEATS + SKATES organizes DIY community activations that foster meaningful relationships between artists across disciplines.
BEATS + SKATES is pleased to be partnering with The Bentway for another year! As part of their summer exhibition Sun/Shade, we explore new thinking about sun and shade can help cities adapt to rising temperatures and create more comfortable urban spaces.
local vendors, skate rentals, beat makers, DJs, roller skaters and street artists all in one night.
BEATS + SKATES RESIDENCY
The BEATS + SKATES Residency is a multidisciplinary residency that celebrates hip hop through movement arts, music and visual culture. We pair multidisciplinary emerging artists with professionals to teach three skills-based workshops: a beatmaking intensive, a mural residency, and a roller skating residency. Residents showcase what they’ve learned to a live audience at the BEATS + SKATES Showcase. This residency is supported by Loop Sessions Toronto and Toronto Arts Council.
