North Shore Art Crawl | October 3-5, 2025

This free, annual 3-day arts festival offers art enthusiasts an insider’s look into the vibrant North Shore arts scene. With opening receptions, art practice demonstrations and open studio tours, from over 300+ participating artists across North Vancouver and West Vancouver, there is plenty to see and do. Grab your friends and family and make a weekend of it here on the North Shore.

In its fifteenth year running, the North Shore Art Crawl partners with local galleries, community centres, businesses and art schools to invite the public to celebrate the talent of local artists by viewing their works and learning about their passions. This annual event is made memorable and unique by the wide range of media displayed by the artists, including textiles, jewellery, pottery, graphic design, sculpture, painting, glass and photography.
