A uniquely cool aspect of the Kinco art show is the implicit expectation that the potential buyer might showcase their purchases on the slopes. This adds another layer of challenge to this creative project.

Throughout the show, approximately 200 friends and

regular customers came to see the display, which spanned the entire shop.

A striking piece by Lichen Johnson, a glass pair of Kinco gloves, was meticulously handcrafted at the shop he works for on Lopez Island. His pair was as expensive as it was fragile and we wish him luck in connecting with the right buyer in the near future!

We have been stoked with our recent ability to serve alcohol at events like this. It has been instrumental in keeping Boardworks afloat during this low-snowfall winter season. The Boardworks staff enjoys serving all of you, but when the pace picks up, we bring in the heavy hitters, Bailey and Morgan, to take over bar-keeping duties. They know how to keep their energy as high as the speed at which they sling drinks. So shout out to them for helping us make art shows like these successful events! 

As always, we host these events to celebrate our passion for creativity in the snowboard community and bring all of our friends together. I was in charge of taking pictures that night, and I know I captured several of our friends. Have fun looking through them and seeing familiar faces! 

 P.S. We still have gloves left that need to be picked up by either the artist or buyer, so come by as soon as you can to snag these epic gloves.
