At least two Tri-City artists are featured in the 2024 Eastside Culture Crawl, which continues this weekend in Vancouver.
Coquitlam’s Leanne M. Christie has her studio open at 268 Keefer St. to show and sell her urban oil paintings.
Originally from South Africa, Christie recently displayed her work at PoMoArts — a solo exhibit that highlighted places around Port Moody and Coquitlam as part of a memory project.
And Harro Lauprecht, who moved to Port Moody about a year ago, will have walk-in tours available at the Octopus Studios (393 Powell St.), where his business, Earth to Art Design, is based.
His sculptures are described in his Crawl bio as “pushing the limits of existing 3D printing technologies.”
“Out of clay and porcelain, he is printing collections of objects that soften the precise and indifferent definition of industrial design.”
Running from Nov. 14 to 17, the 28th annual Crawl is Vancouver’s biggest visual arts festival, with more than 90 artists new to this year’s lineup. More than 500 artists in some 55 buildings are registered for the 2024 round.
“This is an exciting time of growth and discovery,” said Esther Rausenberg, artistic and executive director of the Eastside Arts Society, in a news release.
“Both artists and visitors alike are eager for connection, to feel part of something bigger than ourselves. The Culture Crawl offers a unique opportunity to connect with our communities, to support artists in their livelihoods, and to come away inspired and reinvigorated by the countless ways in which artists explore and share their creativity with the world.”
The details of Eastside Culture Crawl events, artists, talks and locations can be found on the event's website.
