In this episode, we hear from Douglas Miles, multidisciplinary artist and founder of Apache Skateboards. As a Project Creosote Grantee, Douglas shares how the award impacted current Apache Skateboards projects and how purchasing high-quality production equipment opened the doors to new commissions and opportunities across the country. We learn how Douglas’ upbringing in a large family influenced his approach to artmaking and community organizing, the many projects Apache Skateboards is involved with, and the moments that make Douglas most proud.
