The Art Crawl route follows along Allen Creek leading attendees to the thriving retail shops and restaurants of Evansville’s historic Main Street. 25 area artists, and musicians will be appearing, and weather permitting some musical performances will take place outdoors. Rain will bring musicians indoors at four stops along the art crawl. Consult the Evansville Art Crawl Facebook page for updates.

Art goers can get their maps signed and stamped at each participating venue with a chance to enter it into a drawing for prizes such as artwork by participating artists. This year’s participating businesses along the route include American Family Insurance, The Grove Market, Urban Exchange Consignments, Vintage Roost, and Ceili Coffee and Wine Bar among others. Ceili’s will be offering wine by the glass for sale during the art crawl. There are also larger venue spaces such as the Grange Store Building and Eager Economy Building on the route. The art crawl concludes at Emma's Table.  Emma’s will feature a concert by Evansville Underground Music and is adjacent to Evansville’s first mural which will be unofficially unveiled to the public Friday.
