Now in our 28th year, the Culture Crawl has grown from a community of 45 artists, to an annual visual arts festival that directly connects thousands of art lovers such as yourself with hundreds of artists, craftspeople, and designers.
2023 was a productive year for the Eastside Arts Society (EAS), made possible in part by the support of our donors who played an integral role in helping to ensure that Art is for Everyone in Vancouver.
Because of our donors’ generous support, in 2023:
- We welcomed over 40,000 people to the 27th annual Eastside Culture Crawl, with 515 participating artists over the 4-day festival – a return to pre-pandemic attendance!
- 1,500 people participated in the newly expanded Create! Eastside Arts Festival art-making workshops and performing arts
- Studio 101 gave 220 public school youth the opportunity to create art with professional artists.
- We took important steps in the development of the Eastside Arts District by developing a communications plan and a pilot website.
For close to three decades, the Eastside Arts Society has created vibrant and lasting arts and culture programming, serving as a catalyst for meaningful community engagement. Our mandate is to continue to protect cultural spaces, build capacity for artists, and bring meaningful artistic experiences to the citizens and youth of Vancouver. In a city where the arts are continually pushed to the margins, our work is critical to ensure a future where art thrives. We want to build awareness, increase access, and advocate for the arts locally and beyond. This work is driven by the core belief that Art is For Everyone!
