The Power of Pablo 2022 was a fundraiser and art auction taking place in San Francisco from March 10th - March 25th. We collaborated with some of Pablo’s favorite artists, skaters, musicians, and establishments to create a slate of events that the city had been waiting for. We released the HUF x PRF Capsule collection, which included a special 100 page magazine dedicated to the life, art, and poetry of Pablo Ramirez published by Skate Jawn Magazine. Two nights later we opened up The Power of Pablo Art Show and Benefit at the Somarts Cultural Center. Over 100 artists from around the world showed their support by donating pieces for the auction to be displayed alongside Pablo’s original artwork, Tommy Guerrero and his band performed live, and John Cardiel was getting hyped spinning records with DJ Aiden Powell, creating a truly unforgettable night. Then over the next two weeks we put on a series of events and workshops to activate the community and bring people together. Check the calendar for recaps of the events and make sure to sign up for a newsletter to stay up to date on all our future endeavors and projects.
