St. Cloud Art Crawl to Celebrate 10 Years

Black Box Art Display
 If you haven’t had the chance to check out the previous Art Crawls in St. Cloud, 2015 is the year to attend. Art Crawl St. Cloud will be celebrating it’s tenth year! The Art Crawls started as a completely grassroots movement with one main goal in mind, to provide the St. Cloud Community with a quality arts experience in St. Cloud’s historic downtown. According to Amy Jo Paul, Art Crawl board member, since it’s inception, the Art Crawls have played an active role in creating a vibrant atmosphere in downtown St. Cloud for artists, small business owners, and community members.

Local Musicians Performing
If you are a first timer attending the event, a great place to start is at either end of St. Germain. From here you will find multiple participating businesses proudly swinging an Art Crawl flag or displaying an Art Crawl Member sticker in the window of their business. Once inside a participating business, you can expect to find a local or regional artist hosted at each location. Other perks may include special offers, snacks, and/or beverages. This is a FREE event and all ages are welcome.

Art Crawl Attendees Wine Tasting
Art Crawls are held four times a year, and the first in 2015 is fast approaching! It will take place on Friday, March 20, 2015. The rest of the Art Crawls will be held the following Fridays: June 12, August 14, and November 6. The Art Crawls start at 5:00 PM and go until 9:00 PM. The August Art Crawl, known as the Sizzling Summer Art Crawl, will be held from NOON - 9:00 PM. With more than 30 businesses joining in this year, 2015 is expected to be an unforgettable year!
