Cottontown Art Crawl 2020

Prior to hibernation, we checked out the Cottontown Art Crawl in Columbia, SC.

What does an art crawl look like? In this neighborhood of bungalows, very charming!
Approximately 33 participants were set up on porches and yards throughout the neighborhood.

Working on this blog post and referencing the map provided, I realized we missed a lot! We tucked the map away so we could enjoy the artwork, stroll and gorgeous weather. Oops.

 I hope you enjoyed this Art Crawl.

 Stay safe and healthy!

 Thank you for stopping by! ~Val

      Isn't it? I have never been to something like this before. It was their second annual so hopefully it continues and becomes more successful each year.

    Looks like it was a lot of fun! Maybe next year, people will be able to do it again?

      I hope so! It looks like it was a success and would have been even more attended if that COVID-19 scare was not already happening.

    An interesting concept, Val. You will at the very least be well prepared to enjoy it next year. In the meantime be well, stay safe and take care of each other.

    I was near this area a few weeks ago. I didn't know about this. SC has many different art crawls here. I remember going to a few for a assignment for my art class in college.

      In the future I will have to keep my ears open for others like this. It was really enjoyable, especially with great weather. I am glad they were able to hold this event before things got scary out there.

    I certainly did enjoy this art crawl.
    One of our nearby towns does similar during the summer … somehow I don't think it will take place this year though!

    I did enjoy looking at the art through your photographs, thank you.

    All the best Jan

      Thank you Jan! It will be a difficult spring and summer for us all. It almost feels like life has been cancelled for now.
