So much to show, so much to see as local artists shared an amazing variety of work on the first Railway City Arts Crawl Friday and Saturday. A steady stream of people enjoyed the crawl at eleven locations where artists demonstrated and chatted about their work.
The Arts Crawl was a new initiative of St. Thomas Railway City Tourism, designed to celebrate local arts and culture and offer a break over the long winter. Participants were given a passport to guide them to the sites and the artists. The Crawl wrapped up with a gathering at the Midtown Tavern where the Sheridan Band entertained. Enthusiastic responses could be heard at the venues throughout the two days with participants looking forward to the next Arts Crawl.
