It’s like all the art gods got together and whispered in the ears of Julie Seel and her team of talented friends and neighbors in the charming little hamlet of Cottontown at once, “Your community needs art and sunshine and music and a reminder that people are basically good and giving. Give them the art they crave!”
And it was so.
This Saturday from 10 - 3 plan to put your troubles on a plane to the moon, but take yourself and everyone you love to Columbia’s Cottontown-Bellevue historic district where you can bask in the vibes of 83 artists who have been cooped up for a year with nothing to do but express the gamut of their emotions with their hands and pent up creativity.
There is no telling what these amazing people have put together for us.
What we do know is this:
the Host Station is at 2150 Sumter Street where you can pick up maps or meet your friends
42 art sites are neighborhood porches, yards, & in the areas of local businesses
the Cottontown Art Crawl organizers are committed to creating a safe and inviting atmosphere so social distancing and masks are required across the entire area
the event is free but the art is not - while almost all artists will take cards, it’s a good idea to have a little cash on hand
this is the third annual Cottontown Art Crawl, but it’s the biggest thus far, so plan accordingly
there will be music in the Indah Coffee parking lot - see the line-up below

and maybe while you’re there you might want to add your own name to the list of esteemed supporters
