End Of The Crawl

Above. A back yard studio. This is the second such studio I have become aware of in the neighbourhood in the last few weeks. Which leads me to conclude that such studios are more common than I would have thought. 

I say neighbourhood, in fact the galleries participating in the event sprawl across two or three neighbourhoods. 

Fair Warning

Below. There are a number of cafés and coffee shops along the way where gallery crawlers were able to stop and rest. Some locations, such as Union Market, had live music.  

I didn't get to see a fraction of the galleries and artists' work that I might have if I had started on Friday. Next year I'll set aside all three days. 

I knew of a few of these artists before this event. I've met and spoken with a couple of them before. But I had no idea there were so many artists, 300 in this event, working on the east side. And I live here! 

I hope it wasn't too boring for the rest of you.
