REI and HOKA ONE ONE are hosting a two-week challenge to get you outside and practice your art skills while you walk, hike or run!
Join HOKA and REI on September 15th at 6:00pm for a Zoom webinar with artist and HOKA Field Experience Rep Luke McCambley. Tune in to learn about carrying supplies on the trail, the basics of drawing and painting landscapes, and more about the two-week Active Artist Challenge!
Â
 The HOKA x REI Active Artist Challenge welcomes artists, runners, hikers, and walkers of all ability levels to experience the outdoors in a different way from September 15th to September 30th.
Our kick-off Zoom webinar on September 15th will teach you how to pack a trail/active art kit, teach you the basics of drawing and painting landscapes in the outdoors, and give you time to ask our active artist any questions you have!Â
RSVP at the "REGISTER NOW" button at the top of this page and a personal access link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the panel.
From September 15th to September 30th, you can put pen to paper and get out on the trails or in the parks to create your own active art.Â
How the Challenge Works
Upload an image of your artwork OR you creating your art in the outdoors to REI Conversations at the link HERE!
You can also post on Instagram (include the hashtag #ActiveArtistChallenge and tag @rei and @hokaoneone). Once you post, you'll be entered for a chance to win our grand prize (a pair of HOKA hiking boots and a field notebook from REI). Several other swag packages will be raffled off to participants as well.Â
If you are new to either the arts or the trails(or both), this challenge is for you! Athletes and artist of all levels are welcome to participate.
Luke began running after college, while working at a running store. In his spare time, he drew comics, often about running. Sometimes he even got paid for it. He uses his comics to inspire and educate athletes, which— coincidentally— is what he does for HOKA as well. When he’s not driving the HOKA mobile, you can find him circling Prospect Park in Brooklyn, sometimes sketching, sometimes training, but usually in a pair of the HOKA Clifton.
Participants that upload their art to REI Conversations, or post a photo of their artwork on Instagram (include the hashtag #ActiveArtistChallenge and tag both @rei and @hokaoneone) will be entered for a chance to win our grand prize (a pair of HOKA hiking boots and a field notebook from REI). Several other swag packages will be raffled off to participants as well.
