Monument Snowboards’ Art Director has been steering the company in a more creative direction for its past two seasons. While still maintaining a strong attention to functionality, Monument snowboards feature collaborative artwork with the fashion and art worlds.
Christopher Glancy guest Art Directed for the D.C.-based company 2 years ago when he curated a board for Monument with friend Daniel Jackson from art collective Surface to Air. Merging young street and fashion artists with snowboarding, Glancy was asked back last year to art direct the entire collection, bringing in established artists like J. Penry, Maya Hayuk, Peter Beste, and Donny Miller to create original works to be displayed on the boards. The collection was met with an amazing response at the SIA tradeshow in Las Vegas, establishing Monument (founded in 2001) as a true contender amongst giants like Burton, Rome, and Ride snowboard companies.
With designs ranging from graffiti-inspired to geometrics to cartoon-styles, Monument solidifies itself in uniqueness among independent snowboard companies and emphasizes itself as an individualistic brand while avoiding logo-heavy graphics.
Monument Snowboards are available at Wave Rave Snowboard Shop, Capital Boardroom and Board Paradise.

I am absolutely loving these awesome snowboards - the one on the right especially (I’m not so sure about the Peter Beste one). Very nicely designed, the other two.
