North Van Arts is presenting the 10th annual North Shore Art Crawl, a free weekend event celebrating the creative energy of our local artists by inviting the public to explore North Shore artists’ studios & galleries from Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove.
On March 7 & 8, 2020 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, over 200 North Shore artists at 81 locations (including local artist studios, community and commercial galleries and businesses partnering with artists) open their doors to the public to share their passion and a ‘behind the scenes’ glimpse of their creative process.
This is your chance to discover new local artists and artisans, get your hands dirty at artist-led demonstrations and activities, and find pieces of art for your home — all without paying an admission fee!
Bring your friends and family and make a weekend of it! ‘Neighbourhood studio clusters’ make it easier than ever to visit as many venues as possible over the two days event. For the first time, this year there will be an optional reception opening on Friday March 6 from 7pm-9 pm (check program guide or website for details).
The North Shore Art Crawl was initiated in 2011 by two local artists, Sandrine Pelissier and Norman Vipond, who wanted to provide a deeper connection for the community with the wealth of local talent. The Crawl supports the local economy every year by attracting over 15,000 visits and generating over $20,000 in art sales for participating artists.
This annual event has earned its place as one of the most highly anticipated happenings on the North Shore community cultural calendar.
Plan your crawl by picking up a free brochure with all participating artists’ and studio details. Brochures are available at CityScape Community Art Space (335 Lonsdale Avenue in North Vancouver) and at various other locations across the North Shore, including public libraries and recreation centres.
View a digital copy of the brochure on northvanarts.ca/nsac/map-brochure/.
Go to northvanarts.ca to find full artist profiles and images, an up-to-date list of demonstrations and activities taking place over the weekend, and an interactive Google map of all the studio locations and community partners.
After the event weekend, patrons can fill out the Visitor Survey to tell North VAN Arts about their experiences and be entered to win a one-night stay for two people at the new waterfront Seaside Hotel North Vancouver and a $50 dining credit at their onsite restaurant, Provisions.
