Queen West Art Crawl Festival Celebrating our 20th Anniversary and Ontario Culture Days
For 22 years The Queen West Art Crawl festival has provided barrier free / low barrier community access to artists and the arts, creating a family friendly environment allowing discovery and crosspollination in the heart of Toronto's West Queen West and surrounding neighborhoods. We believe that this environment fosters a vital sense of connection within the community and gives artists a space to learn from each other and grow their practice. This year the festival will be held in Trinity Bellwoods Park September 23-24th 2023 In Park and Online.
Our festival focuses around three main projects, an Outdoor Art Exhibition, a Main Stage providing professional music concerts and drag performances, and a Kids' Zone with art activities and children's entertainment: along with food stalls and a beer tent. As well, special projects, such as live mural paintings, art walks, and tent talks, give each year's festival a different flavor, and increases our presence along Queen Street West and as a major festival in Ontario.
