21 Oct

The 28th Annual Eastside Culture Crawl returns November 14 – 17, 2024. This 4 day visual arts festival features over 500 artists located in some 55 buildings around Vancouver’s Eastside.  The event is an amazing opportunity to check out the amazing creative talent in this City. 

The Eastside Culture Crawl features a wide variety of artists including painters, furniture makers, jewellers, sculptors, potters, photographers, glassblowers and many more mediums. We encourage to take the opportunity to visit artists in their working studios. The Crawl, as it is affectionately known, is a great opportunity to meet the artists and discuss their work and creative process. If you are looking to be inspired, this is event to attend.  

The Eastside Culture Crawl runs from November 14 – 17, 2024. November 14th and 15th runs from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm and November 16th and 17th from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. The Eastside Culture Crawl covers a wide geographical area on the Eastside of the City.  We find the Crawl Map to be a great resource in narrowing down artists and locations you may be interested in visiting.   The Eastside Culture Crawl is a free event and open to all ages.  For more information visit, the Eastside Culture Crawl.

We are happy to hear The Eastside Culture Crawl is back for another year.  Things will look a bit different this year, but there are still lots of ways to check out and support local artists.   The 25th Annual Eastside Culture Crawl happens November 12 – 14, 2021 and November 18 – 21, 2021 with Thursday and Friday dates being open for attendance from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm and Saturday and Sunday being open for attendance 11:00 am to 6:00 pm.

For the Preview Weekend only, you will need to book by which building you wish to go to. For the first weekend not all buildings will be open to visitors. Then the November 18 – 21, 2021 set of dates, it will be Open Studio Festival Weekend in which no appointment will be required, but vaccine passports and masking will be in place to keep everyone safe.

As always, The Crawl provides an excellent Crawl Map online that will help you narrow down which studios you would like to see whether it’s by area, building, or type of art. As always, The Crawl has created a great online Program Guide that helps you narrow down what you’d like to see since there are a whole lot of options.
