Skate Haven will transform MASS MoCA’s Courtyard D into a pop-up skatepark for a skate jam featuring clinics, a best trick contest, and product giveaways. The space will be filled with obstacles built by MASS MoCA’s fabrication team and by Skateparks, Arts, and Advocacy program participants. No matter their skill level, or whether participants are local to the Berkshires or visiting from out of town, the afternoon promises something for everyone.

Skate Haven invites all skaters in the Northern Berkshires to MASS MoCA for a day of shredding and sharing. No previous skateboard experience is needed, and beginner participation is encouraged. Skate Haven’s clinics will review skateboard fundamentals in a simple, straightforward way that provides new insights to skaters of all levels.
