Had a fun visit to The ARC (1701 Powell Street). Start on the 7th floor and work your way down… lots and lots to see, do and hear! Nice bunch of people (as are all the artists at the Eastside Culture Crawl).
Inspired by Michelle Sirois-Silver – hand hooked rug artist at the Eastside Culture Crawl.
Every year at the Eastside Culture Crawl I get inspired. I think about my desire to be an artist – then realize it might be best if I simply support the artists and their creativity by buying and talking about the work and the people behind it. This year I met Michelle Sirois-Silver who does [...]

With the weather so icky, don’t build an ark – visit the ARC!
The ARC at 1701 Powell Street is a a great place to check out for the Eastside Culture Crawl. It is on my list every year… I love a visit with Wendy D, photographer extraordinaire, seeing the colours in Martha Jablonski-Jones’ work and others. Now, one of the things I love there is the fact [...]

8 arms needed at Octopus – really, to carry all the things you want to buy.

Something for mommy and baby… The Eastside Culture Crawl
I had the opportunity to check out some spaces at 1000 Parker Street. I fell in love with Julie Pongrac work in studio 424. Her shawls were amazing and the use of botanicals on fabric impressive. I also loves the t-shirts for babies and little kidlets… super soft and cute! Check out the colours of [...]
Eastside Culture Crawl, Union Gospel Mission and the Mayor!
Yesterday, Vancouver Mayor, Gregor Robertson, was on hand to open the show at the Union Gospel Mission that was part of the Eastside Culture Crawl. Great turn out… the chalk work by the artists were stunning, the photo pieces had such a great feel of the area and the people. Here is the picture of [...]
Tips and Food…. Eastside Culture Crawl artist of the day… kind of (according to me)
Ok, the weather is going to be a bit icky this weekend. Here are some strategies to make your Eastside Culture Crawl experience stellar! Wear warm, waterproof boots, raincoat and hat. Umbrellas are ok…. just be careful with them in the artists studios/homes. I also recommend bringing your own reusable shopping bags… good for the [...]
The after party at the Eastside Culture Crawl. Artist of the day (according to me)…
I don’t know if you know this, but the folks at the Eastside Culture Crawl know how to party. One of the fun and fabulous features for artists and non-artists alike is the Echo Chamber – after hours party. Chapel Arts at 304 Dunlevy proudly holds the 4th annual Eastside Fusion on Music, Film, Visual [...]
