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, describe the annual event as “an accessible and fun experience for art lovers and first-time visitors alike.” A list of 2023 artists can be found online.
