A highlight of the planning process each year for the Eastside Studio Crawl is the design work for the poster/postcard. It takes a team of BVAS artists, designers, photographer and a healthy dose of fun to make each year's PR tool super duper for all the studio locations Nvrlnd ArtPoint Gallery and Studios Society Workshop Studios 500 Collective

Best is how the spirit of the Eastside Studio Crawl is captured!
