Off the Grid: Victoria's Art (Space) Crawl

Date: Friday March 23, beginning at 5pm throughout Victoria

The Art Crawl was an "en mass open house" for Victoria's Artist Run Centres and Independent Galleries. On March 23, 2007, nine of these centres opened their doors to the public, each featuring their individually selected exhibitions and installations. The public converged on the downtown core, visiting the contributing galleires. This was a rare opportunity for visual artists, art enthusiasts and the general public to learn more about each centre, speak with each organization's administrators and curators and socialize more generally with Victoria's non-commercial arts community. 

A scheduled "end of evening rendezvous" took place during the final hours of the program at Open Space.
