Discover over 500 Vancouver artists at the free Eastside Culture Crawl this fall
Heads up, art lovers! One of the city’s largest art celebrations is returning this fall and everything is free to check out.
The 26th annual Eastside Culture Crawl is happening from November 17 to 20 in 80 buildings across Vancouver’s eastside.
More than 500 artists are expected to welcome 45,000 visitors to their studios.
The four-day visual arts, design, and crafts festival sees artists open their doors to visitors in the neighbourhood enclosed within Columbia Street, 2nd Avenue, Victoria Drive, and the Waterfront. It is considered the most densely populated community of artists in the country.
Eastside Arts Society, producers of The Crawl, have announced that this year’s event features its largest line-up of artists, venues, and events to date. A list of 2022 artists can be found online.
Attendees will meet a wide variety of artists, ranging from emerging talent to internationally-acclaimed creators. Mediums that will be on display include painting, sculptures, photography, jewellery, glass, and more.
There will also be a number of workshops, demos, exhibits, and artist talks to enjoy throughout the Eastside Culture Crawl.
A full schedule of events and a map of studio locations will be released closer to the event.
