D.C. based entertainment production firm, Sole of the City Entertainment, in conjunction with designer toy company Kid Robot, will launch the much-anticipatedDecked Out tour in the nation’s capital on August 28th.  All proceeds generated fromDecked Out will cover the production costs for the documentary The New Grind. 

Decked Out will also provide visitors with the first glimpse into The New Grind by showcasing the teaser for the film. The brainchild of director Mark Shelton, The New Grind highlights the impact skateboarding has made on disenfranchised youth from America to South Africa.

“We’re seeking to create an environment where visitors can not only learn more about the film but can also connect with the artists behind the film,” said Shelton.

The event will showcase the talents of the following artists whose works will also be for sale:

Cey Adams 
Eric Johnson
Charles Jean Pierre
Imani Brown 
Rob Burch
Shaymar Higgs
Gerald Watson
