BARCELONA
CALLING ALL SKATERS ART DEPARTMENT
OUR GOAL :
TO SEE SKATEBOARDERS FROM BARCELONA, EUROPE AND BEYOND MEETING JESUS AND DEVELOPING THEIR CREATIVITY
WHAT:
The creation of collaborative spaces and events that provide platforms for skateboarders to:
1. Cultivate their creativity
2. Allow them to engage in a community of skateboarding Jesus followers and to hear the gospel from within their own subculture.
WHY:
The mission of Calling All Skaters is to call skateboarders to become followers of Jesus Christ. Skateboarders are naturally expressive and creative individuals, and we want to both cultivate that creativity as well as use art and skateboarding as a bridge to share the gospel.
PANAMA LAB
A DARKROOM FOR SKATEBOARDERS
PanamaLab is a space devoted to teaching skateboarders the art of analog photography and offering professional photo services + workshops at an affordable price. We do this because we believe in skateboarders potential and want to keep artistic expression alive in skateboarding culture. We need each other to stay inspired so here we are, a community of homies just exploring our creativity.
Panama Lab provides:
Professional photo services (developing film, scanning film, photographic prints)
Workshops on how to develop film and make analog prints
Opportunities for photographers to share their work through zines and exhibitions.
Our faith in Jesus has changed our lives and effects every aspect of who we are. As we create and connect with skaters it is only natural for our love for God and the message of the Gospel to flow freely into our conversations. We believe in a natural/relational approach to discipleship and have already seen God moving in the lives of many skateboarders who come to PanamaLab.

A CREATIVE LABORATORY
We are currently in the process of building an art studio space in our basement! This space will be a creative laboratory for skateboarders to come and both explore their creativity and develop their talents.
El Sotano will provide:
Workshops for local skateboarders to be able to develop their craft. (ie. drawing, painting, woodworking, screen printing, ect.)
Creative NIghts where local skateboarders can come learn and experiment with different art mediums (collaging, stencils, lino printing, music. ect.)
Internships where both local and international skateboarders can learn more about a specific craft.
Space Rental/Business Incubator for local skateboarder to have a place to “set up shop” and begin to grow grow their craft into something that can eventually be moved to another space as a fully formed business. (ie. screen printing, tattooing, or wood working.)
