Art, Bike, Beer Crawl Fundraiser Auction!

We have two great ways to support the Eastside Culture Crawl this year:

1. BEER TOTE PACK

We may not be able to get together and do a group tour of our local breweries this year, but we are very happy to be offering up the next best thing: a delicious swag bag of tasty treats and a lovely do-it-yourself tour map of some of East Vancouver’s amazing public art & some of the Crawl’s unique studio buildings! Support the Crawl, take home a tote of beer and treats and take yourself on a cycling or walking tour of some amazing local art and culture sites in this exceptional, storied neighbourhood. Totes are $50 each *19+ item only*

The 24th annual Eastside Culture Crawl Festival is pleased to bring you a new and exciting format this year delivering our programming across multiple platforms, maximizing engagement while ensuring the safety and comfort of guests and artists. This year’s hybrid festival offers both virtual engagement through 360-degree studio view, live streaming and live chat, as well as offering controlled in-person engagement through studio visits by appointment. We are excited to announce that this year’s festival offers extended hours over a three- week period; launching with a virtual preview week November 2nd – 9th, followed by two weekends of controlled in-person open studio visits November 12th-15th and November 19th-22nd. We believe this year’s hybrid will allow for an even more intimate space of connectivity between the public, our artists and their art and we are thrilled to share this experience with our audiences and artists in November. Join us!
