Tony Hawk Art Sweepstakes Ends

Gary New Duluth Community Center and Recreation Area is holding a sweepstakes with the chance to win a piece of original artwork by Tim Cortes that pays homage to famed skateboard master Tony Hawk.

Entries are being accepted at betterworld.org.

The painting was created directly on a “canvas” of three skateboard decks, illustrating Hawk’s rise from a youth to an adult as the icon of skateboarding. The art is not only signed by the artist, but also Tony Hawk. The art is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by both Tony Hawk and Tim Cortes, along with photos of the signings.

The sweepstakes ends on Sept. 30. All proceeds go to the GND REC and will help fund the completion of a world-class skateboard park.
