10 Local Artists

Solid Kicks Project is a unique art collaboration between Christina Werkmeister DESIGN and RICHMOND HOOD CO., as part of the Concrete Concrete exhibition, made possible by a grant from Staten Island Arts. This creative initiative brings together 10 amazing local artists—each one transforming a handcrafted concrete sneaker into an original work of art.

ARTISTS

ArtsyAshlee, Brianna Caraballo, Britton Mane,

Danny Johnson, Jodi Dareal, KEST GAK, PREZ,

RIBS GAK, Lavinia Solano, Tuco41

THE MISSION

The Solid Kicks Project merges streetwear culture, community artistry, and philanthropy. The ultimate goal? To sell these custom sneaker artworks and donate the proceeds to a worthy cause. This is more than a project—it’s a celebration of creativity with purpose.
