The DC Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation will be celebrating International Surfing Day by holding an art show fundraiser (Ripple: Art Affecting Oceans) at the ARTiculate Gallery in downtown DC. It's a celebration of art and the ocean, featuring art, music, wine and beer, food, and a silent auction. Proceeds will go directly to DC Surfrider to help keep our waters clean.

RIPPLE Featured Artist: Brian Tucci


Brian Tucci (DC): "For me, painting is kind of like a bookmark. It's the synthesis of everything that I have going on at the time. . . . Somehow, it always falls together. I never know what I'm going to do until it's finished. I just know that the paintings have stopped, and then I know I'm done."

With a career spanning over 20 years, pro skateboarder Brian Tucci is revered an underground legend in the skateboarding world. He uses the same spontaneity and creativity in his approach to both skateboarding and art. Ever-evolving, Tucci says that he is contantly honing his skills, trying new techniques; fine tuning his voice.

All boards in this show have been ridden and retired by Brian Tucci.
