About Us
Art in the Eastside Arts District!
The 4th annual CREATE! Eastside Arts Festival is a week-long, fun and interactive art-making event this summer, bringing together local artists and the community to explore, learn, and create outdoors in Strathcona Park, a beautiful outdoor space, and in Eastside art studios. Attendees of all ages and abilities will learn how to create visual art such as print making, glass fusing, ceramics and painting, as well as explore performing arts such as Salish singing and story-telling in ticketed workshops taught by Eastside artists in a beautiful outdoor space this summer. Attendees also get to enjoy our Arts Zone featuring public participation art, our Festival Art Shop, a selection of food trucks and a full licensed site with beer, cider and wine from Strange Fellows Brewing.
The CREATE! Eastside Arts Festival is brought to you by the Eastside Arts Society, producers of the Eastside Culture Crawl.
