I've never found skateboarding to be particularly rousing, but the new INSPIRED exhibition at APART on Portobello Road seeks to challenge my disinterest. |

While I prefer a life of sofa-bound inertia to tearing up the sidewalks of London on a bit of bent wood, the organisers have invited a collective of assorted creative types to showcase work highlighting the influence skateboarding has had on them. Contributors, including usual suspects Jamie Hewlitt and Maharishi along with restaurateur Mourad Mazouz (Momo's and Sketch) and The Audio Bully's, have each been given a skate board to do with as they wish. Besides ride it of course. Swedish artist, Emelie Salford, has glued a pair of pink stilettos
to hers, which should help to banish my mental association of skating
with glamour-allergic dysfunctional American teens. |

The boards on display will be for sale and all profits from the event will go towards the anti-racism organisation, Love Music Hate Racism. So even if skateboards aren’t your bag, doing a good deed should be. Whether Avril Lavigne will be there to pick up a board and indeed a 'boi' is anyone's guess! Inspired
