A unique display on Friday evening brought some gnarly designs to the Butler Art Center & Gallery.
The Grip Tape Gallery art show featured more than 30 skateboards designed and painted by artists from around the country.
The boards were raffled off at the show. All money raised from it will be used to fund improvements to the skate park at Father Marinaro Park in Butler.
