Eastside Art Crawl

About the Eastside Culture Crawl

The Eastside Culture Crawl officially began in 1997 with 45 visual artists and was attended by a few hundred people. Since then, The Crawl has grown to include over 400 artists, craftspeople and designers, and attracts an audience of more than twenty thousand. The organization itself has evolved into a cultural event that is richly experimental, providing visitors with an in-depth glimpse into the heart of the East Van creative community. It's worth checking out!

*Bonus participation marks for anyone that provides evidence of attending the Eastside Art Crawl (photographs, notes and/or business cards in your process journal.....etc. Get creative!)

Alright guys....this is kinda how I feel sometimes when I'm trying to relay important information to you (like your assignments, for example).  I post it on this blog, I write it on the board and I explain it to you verbally.....and some of you still tell me you didn't know what to do! Help me, help you.

For participation marks, PLEASE answer this question in the box below:
"What do you need to happen in order to absorb & remember important information?"
