The fifth annual Cottontown Art Crawl will welcome 140 artists to show and sell their original work in the downtown Columbia neighborhood of Cottontown. The event will be held on Saturday, March 11, 2023, from 10 am to 3 pm with more art, more artists, more food and more fun for visitors than ever before. “The Cottontown neighborhood is looking forward to supporting the Columbia arts scene on March 11th,” said organizer Julie Seel. “Artists will be selling their work throughout the entire neighborhood. Some of the artists are emerging, some are quite accomplished, and some are award winning, juried artists. So, we truly have something for every level of art enthusiast,” said Seel. This event is entirely outdoors and spread over several city blocks, but social distancing and masks are encouraged. The organizers of the event are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all and providing an opportunity for artists to showcase and sell their work safely. While artists are located throughout the neighborhood, the corridor is intended to be more accessible to individuals with mobility issues. The event is FREE and open to the public and will also feature live music featuring local bands and performers. The main host station will be located at 2200 Sumter Street, where information and maps will be available. Maps will also be available at specially marked boxes throughout the neighborhood.
