It’s That Time Again! Eastside Culture Crawl

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

Wow, the Eastside Culture Crawl is in its 14th year, this November 26 + 27 + 28, 2010. It’s grown so much since the first year and now the Crawl is expecting more than 10,000 people to participate. For 3 days, you can visit 375 artists inside their studios in the area bounded by Main Street to Victoria Drive and from First Avenue north to the waterfront of Vancouver.

This is a free event and is a perfect outing for the whole family.

We have a few suggestions:

One studio you shouldn’t miss is mixed media artist Jada-Gabrielle Pape’s.  We just love Norah’s Birds ( shown below). Her studio is located at 1160 Victoria Drive (garden studio).

We also encourage you to drop by our good friend Sascha’s Gallery Atsui and check out the 10 x10 Show which also features another friends work- Erin Boniferro (http://vancouverisawesome NULL.com/2010/05/14/the-proof-erin-boniferro/). We love Gallery Atsui because it’s on the cutting edge of the art world with its mandate of consistently inviting guest curators.

See you there!

We are so pleased that our lovely friend Erin has realized her dream! Her new retail shop and workshop space, Collage Collage (http://www NULL.collagecollage NULL.ca), opening on Saturday, September 12 (Join the party from 1-4 in the afternoon!) in East Vancouver, is light-filled and airy. A perfect space for everyone who would like to engage with the arts, find inspiration and explore contemporary works through workshops and classes. A  long wooden table dominates the space, inviting creativity and collaboration.  It is a place to find some art supplies, a story book, a small sculpture or a new pair of scissors – and that hardest to find of necessary art items – a good pencil sharpener!

We have had the pleasure of having Erin lead a Halloween-based craft workshop at dandelion KIDS that was enjoyed by all, the results of which made up one of our most beautiful and spooky window displays!  And long ago, when he was in preschool, Stefanie’s son Jasper, was seriously enamored of Erin after she led several art classes. Her education in the fine arts and her gentle approach will ensure that participants of her workshops will be inspired to create and learn, over and over again.

We can’t wait to sign up!
