NVCAC to take over Art Crawl

The North Shore Art Crawl Society has decided to dissolve its non-profit society and has asked the North Vancouver Community Arts Council to take over the Art Crawl.

The North Shore Art Crawl Society has decided to dissolve its non-profit society and has asked the North Vancouver Community Arts Council to take over the Art Crawl.

"The board of directors for the North Shore Art Crawl Society have put in so much work to make the Art Crawl a reality, but we are all artists and running an event like this takes so much time that we haven't been able to spend time on our art," stated Norman Vipond, president of the North Shore Art Crawl Society, in a press release. "We were ready to close the event last year, when the North Vancouver Community Arts Council offered to run the event for a year, so we could have a break. They did such a great job running the event and we enjoyed having more time to do our art, so we asked them to take over the event entirely."

Linda Feil, executive director of NVCAC, said, "This type of event perfectly fits our mandate."

As the North Shore Art Crawl goes into its fifth year, the NVCAC will introduce a few changes. In response to feedback from participating artists and the public, the dates will be moved to Saturday and Sunday, March 7 and 8, 2015 and the hours will be extended to 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Registration for participating artists will open in early November.
