20th Annual ArtCrawl!

Get Ready for the Big One...
ArtCrawl Houston 2012 at Hardy & Nance Studios!
Saturday, November 17th - 10am to 10pm
Sunday, November 18th - Noon to 5pm



ArtCrawl 2012 will be the 20th anniversary of this one-of-a-kind event. For two decades, the denizens of Houston's historic Downtown Art Warehouse District annually open the doors to their living & working studios and invite the public in for a peek behind the curtain. And this year will be the biggest & best ever at Hardy & Nance Studios. In addition to the 30+ artists-in-residence, this year we will also be showing the work of 35 Guest Artists...over 65 artists all under one roof...the largest showing ever to hit the 'Crawl!

And once again, our guests at Hardy & Nance Studios will have the chance to walk away with a very cool and very collectible reminder of this event. Ten lucky visitors who sign our Guest Book located in the Gallery will have their names randomly drawn to win one our door-prizes...one of the very limited edition, signed ArtCrawl 2012 posters below by none other than "Uncle Charlie" Hardwick. Houston's own poster artist to the stars.

The "Free Radicals"...one of the hottest bands in town, will be joined by Jazz Vibes legend Harry Sheppard & Jazz Flute master Bob Chadwick and will rock the block with sets from 4 pm to 8pm. 

And we are very grateful to Texas' Oldest Craft Brewery & good neighbor
Saint Arnold Brewery.   We will be serving up some of their scrumptious suds here throughout the event. 

Also, for your enjoyment, the fine folks at the 
Grand Prize Bar have gotten together with OKRA Charity Bar
and will be providing some delightful cocktail punch for your enjoyment.

And remember...the ArtCrawl is FREE! 
It is 100% paid for by the artists and generous sponsors, no City or other funds are involved.  So please...any contributions will be greatly appreciated and help keep this remarkable event happening for decades to come.
