For one night out of the year, Main Street, Springville becomes an art gallery, with artwork in every business, music in surprising corners and interactive art activities sprinkled throughout.  The Annual Downtown Springville Art Crawl is Saturday, May 5, 2018  from 5:30-8:30 P.M. with free activity for all ages throughout the National Register Historic District.

Participating artists include Linda Hall, Damon Hudac, Tara Lowry, Trenton C. Lutes, Caroline North, Kathleen Pisaro, Judy Wright and more.  Most of the pieces are available for purchase.
While enjoying the quaint village setting and the architecture of Springville’s Main Street, you will find musicians playing inside and out of the businesses. Musicians include Hintz of Thunder, Porcelain Train, Lyndsy Burgio, Phil Elinski, Wise Alex, Andy Francisco, Partners in Time, the Blue Mule Band among many others.
Art happenings will be ongoing throughout the event. Jan Howe will demonstrate spinning wool. Mary Ann Fritz will share the technique of pinweaving. Suzanne Borowicz will give out Poetry in a Bag.  The Springville PTA will host a raffle of artwork made by SGI students. Join a free 30 minute yoga session hosted by rSpace Yoga and Wellness Studio at 6 or 7 pm. As in past years, there will be an kids’ art space at Arts Underground, 66 E Main Street.

To “crawl,” your first stop should be at the corner of Main and Mechanic Streets to pick up a ballot and a map of the participating locations. After that, the night is what you make of it, wandering in and out of storefronts from the Pop Warner Museum and Mercantile down to N Buffalo Street and the Arts Center.

Artwork of various kinds, from watercolor to photography and acrylic to collage, is exhibited in businesses in Springville’s historic downtown.  The artwork, submitted from across Western New York, will be juried into the show by Gerald Mead (Buffalo State), Gwendolyn Brown (Ontario College of Art & Design), and Chris Stangler (Stangler Gallery). Most of the work on display is for sale.

 

Once 8:30pm hits, businesses close and the after-party begins at Springville Center for the Arts, located at 37 North Buffalo Street.  Refreshments will be provided in the Olmsted Gallery which features the Spring Community Exhibit.  “Crawlers” vote on their favorite artist by ballot and the award is presented.

Parking is available in the large municipal parking lot south of Main Street or off Franklin Street. The event is held rain or shine. A pedestrian-friendly, free, walking event. The Crawl is sponsored by Springville Center for the Arts, a charitable nonprofit organization.
