ART CRAWL

Attending the Crawl – Visit as many galleries as possible. Observe the overall space. What does it
look like? How is it similar to, or different from, other galleries? How is the art displayed? Is there a
theme? Is there more than one style of art featured? How many artists are in the show? Does the artwork together as a whole?
• Gather Information on the Art – What pieces of art catch your attention? Select a few of your
favorites, or least favorites, and make note of the title, the artist, and the gallery. What emotions does it
evoke and/or memory does it recalls? What does it look like? How was it made? Do you have a positive or
negative reaction? Why was it created? What is the background of the piece and/or artist? Sometimes
the artist is present at the gallery. Talk to them about their work.
• Tell Your Story – Write about your experience. Describe the overall event. Provide general thoughts on
the evening as well as specific thoughts that reference art, artists, and galleries. Did it meet your
expectations? Discuss the art you saw. Did you walk away with a favorite? Did any piece bother you?
Explain the reasons why you were drawn to, or repelled by, the work. Share a bit about the artist and
their process or the concept of their work. Look them up online to expand your understanding of them
and their work. Go into detail describing the piece(s) you liked – make the reader feel like they were
standing in front of it.
