Arleigh Wood, Location 83, North Shore Art Crawl.
The North Shore Art Crawl is back with gusto for 2022, featuring more than 150 artists at 88 venues all across the North Shore.
The free self-guided tour of art, design, and craft takes place from October 14 to 16.
This beloved annual event presents an abundance of art in various mediums, including textiles, jewellery, pottery, graphic design, sculpture, painting, glass, and photography.
Visitors have chance to meet local artists and get behind the scenes of their creative processes, with many artists offering demonstrations and art activities over the course of the weekend. Whether entering an artist’s studio, visiting a local gallery, or popping into a new café or brewery, visitors will be met with a unique and vibrant array of art.

"I'm excited to show new and existing work, meet people interested in art and maybe have a pint or two...and North Point is a perfect match - it's a cool venue and the vibe of the brewery is well suited for my styles, says Alex Asai - a new artist participating at venue 46, North Shore Point Brewery.
Artist Danyne Johnston, who’s participating at venue 22, 195 Studios, has participated in the North Shore Art Crawl for more than six years.
“I have really enjoyed throwing the studio doors open and welcoming in the public,” Johnston says. “It’s a great way to meet new clients and to get feedback on new collections. It also gives you a deadline to aim at for new pieces and forces a good studio tidy up! "
Says Nancy Cottingham Powell, Executive Director of North Van Arts: “Traditionally, the North Shore Art Crawl has happened in the first two weeks of March. This year we are happy to move our event to the fall, to join an ever-growing art crawl season. With over 150 artists participating at 88 locations this year, we invite the public to stop by a local business or gallery, meet the artists, watch a demonstration, or try your hand at a creative activity, all while learning about the artistic community on the North Shore.”
