Of course it's disappointing that vandals have damaged Ventnor's skatepark (BTW - Can you help fix it up?) - but let's not be disheartened - There's some good news on the horizon for a much more secure future.
There are just four days left to bid for your favourite items in the Ventnor Skatepark Big Art Auction. There are loads of items still at £5, so get bidding and make sure you bag your chosen pieces.
The first two Big Art Auctions were really successful and a great way to raise funds and awareness for the campaign, so we expect the third to be just as good. Artists are invited to donate works of art.
OnTheWight has exclusive concept video footage and an artist's impression of how a concrete skatepark in Ventnor could look. Find out how you can help be part of making that happen.
If you won a bid, you need to pay asap or your artwork will be put back up for sale. Wight Trash are happy to store your item, but you need to pay (through the BAA Website) by the end of Saturday.
A brilliant result for the latest Ventnor Skatepark Art Auction and challenge to raise £50,000 for a new concrete skatepark along Ventnor's seafront. Don't forget to pay if you won an item.
The Big Art Auction closes at midnight tonight (Saturday). Make sure you place your bids before then in order to grab a fantastic piece of artwork at the same time as helping raise money for an innovative new concrete skatepark for Ventnor.
The second Big Art Auction has some fantastic pieces of work that you can bid on. Money raised from the auction will go towards building a robust concrete skatepark on Ventnor's eastern esplanade.
See the work in person for one night only at the launch of the month-long Big Art Auction. There's some stunning pieces that have been donated from as far away as the United States.
