One of the biggest cultural events of the fall season, the Culture Crawl open studios attract and inspire tens of thousands of visitors annually. Encompassing the region bounded by Columbia Street, 1st Avenue, Victoria Drive, and the Waterfront, the Eastside Arts District (EAD) is the most concentrated area of artists, designers, performers, craftspeople and culture producers in Vancouver and is known nationally as an area rich with creativity and inspiration. The festival offers visitors a window into the artistic practices of artists living and/or working in Vancouver’s EAD, representing creators specializing in painting, jewelry, sculpture, furniture, leather goods, photography, glass works, textiles, and more.

During the 2024 Eastside Culture Crawl, artists at VIVA Alliance Studios will open their creative spaces to the public. This annual event offers a rare opportunity to step into the vibrant studios where local artists bring their ideas to life. Visitors will have the chance to meet the artists, explore a variety of works in progress, and discover completed pieces across diverse media. Join us to celebrate and support the artists at VIVA Alliance Studios, where inspiration and creativity come alive.
