CU is now beginning a weekly guide to The City, FIVE5. We plan to keep it real and represent all the cultural institutions of art, music, film, and events. The list of FIVE5 is all you need for your weekly planning:
1. STYLE SESSIONS
What: Style Sessions begins a nine-day art exhibit with renowned artist, William Quigley, who helped organize and produce a series of 75 original art works on skateboard decks. The opening reception is sponsored by Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC), with a silent auction to benefit breast cancer awareness.
On May 28th, Style Sessions hosts a free-ride skateboard and photo competition where riders are judged in a surf style format. Best Rider receives a free trip to the Tokyo Style Sessions in the fall of 2005. Best Photographer receives $1,000 in printing and digital imaging services along with publication in several magazines including Concrete Wave (I won’t mention the connection to the new movie release, Lords of Dogtown out of embarrassment).
When: May 26 - June 3
Where: Milk Gallery (450 w. 15th street/10th ave)
How Much: FREE
2. CRITICAL MASS
What: You’ve heard the controversy; bikers blocking traffic with numerous arrests every month. But Critical Mass is a monthly celebration of bikes and other nonpolluting means of transportation, exercising bikers’ right to the road.
