East Side Culture Crawl opens artists' studios to visitors in Vancouver this November

If you’re feeling particularly arty these days, than the East Side Culture Crawl in November may be just what you’re looking for.

The four-day visual arts, design and crafts festival sees artists open their doors to visitors in the neighbourhood bounded by Columbia Street, 1st Avenue, and Victoria Drive.

More than 500 artists are expected to welcome 30,000 visitors to their studios across 80 different buildings over the course of four days.

The Eastside Culture Crawl officially began in 1997 with 45 visual artists in three Strathcona area studio buildings and was attended by a few hundred people.
