Eastside Culture Crawl
East Vancouver
The culture crawl invites the public to visit East Vancouver artists’ work in their natural habitat. Over 400 local artists with studios located in the area from Main Street to Victoria Drive participate in the free event this year, which is a hundred times more than the first Eastside open-studio fundraiser in 1994. The event involves artists of all levels of expertise and all types of craft, from glassblowing to writing. Whether it’s to find a new painting for that empty spot on your wall, or to share experiences with fellow artists, the Crawl gives Vancouverites plenty of chances to get properly cultured.[hr]
