The 2024 Spring Art Crawl will take place Saturday, March 23, in Downtown Statesville.

The annual event, which runs 2 to 6 p.m., will showcase more than 60 artists in 50 different galleries, shops and businesses scattered throughout downtown.

In a departure from tradition, this year’s Spring Art Crawl embraces the world of crafty arts. This intentional pivot promises to offer an even more eclectic array of pieces, ensuring a diverse and delightful shopping experience for all attendees.

This free event is open to everyone. Attendees are invited to engage with artists and take in various artistic styles and mediums.

A detailed program/map will be available at each location, guiding visitors to all the hotspots and listing the participating artists. A complimentary trolley will be available.

Art Crawl is a vibrant initiative to draw people into undiscovered businesses and encourage a return to folks who already love Downtown Statesville.
