Art Crawl returns for its 11th year on Sunday, Nov. 3 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Never been? Let us paint you a picture: Art Crawl is a free, family and pet-friendly festival featuring more than 60 local artists and performances.
This year’s event will once again be held at Swan Brewing, where you’ll be able to enjoy brews while you browse. There will also be seven food trucks on-site all day, including The Cultivated Pig and Smokin’ Chanchos.
This is the perfect place to buy a new piece for your home or kickstart your own art career. Learn to create art through quilling with Watson Clinic’s Arts in Medicine or help paint a collaborative art piece for the Bartow Art Guild.
If you prefer to leave it to the pros, don’t miss Art Wars, where 10 artists will compete to create large works of art with surprise materials. Muralist Jon Sierra and glass blower Kari Fenstermaker will also work their magic on-site.
It’s not just about visual arts either. There will be street + tent performances throughout the day from the FrediDANCE Project, Harrison School for the Arts, and DJ Jenks.
You gotta park before you crawl. The roads around Swan Brewing will be closed to traffic, so find a spot on the street or in a public parking lot within walking distance with our downtown parking guide.
Save the schedule to plan your day, and let us know which activity you’re going to crawl run to first.
