Tunnel Rats, A Skateboard Show 2013

Tunnel Rats, A SkateBoard Show was curated by Kelly Thompson and Alex Larin Baranda; presented by Antigua Coffee House and Cypress Underground Tunnel Art Gallery.

Near public schools, the city of Los Angeles created underground tunnels to promote student safety while crossing the street and reduce car-related accidents. Tunnel Rats was held in an unused tunnel and funded by a Good Maker Grant.

 

The Grant, totaling in $1,000, allowed the curators and presenters to secure appropriate permits to arrange the tunnel clean up, paint, and lighting. The show hoped to promote the restoration and use of the tunnels for the future.
