About the Festival

The Cottontown Art Crawl, founded in 2019, had humble beginnings. It was the vision of one Cottontown resident who invited a handful of her artist friends to bring their art and set up displays on a few front porches. With a few social media posts and handmade signs, the event attracted 300 people on a Saturday morning, and the Cottontown Art Crawl was born.

The festival transforms the Cottontown neighborhood into a bustling open-air gallery of creativity and culture with live music, food trucks and approximately 200 local and regional artists lining the streets with unique art that utilizes many different mediums such as ceramics, sculpture, photography, jewelry, fiber and more.

The Cottontown Art Crawl is dedicated to promoting local artists, fostering community and showcasing the historic Cottontown neighborhood and its merchants. The crawl is organized by a passionate committee that believes in the power of art to unify a community.
