First FRIDAY ART CRAWL

PETERBOROUGH

​

 

The First Friday Art Crawl was a proprietary initiative of Evans Contemporary and the Ad Hoc Arts Committee. The focus of the event was to provide a vehicle for the public to experience the arts, one which exceeded expectations.

​

We feel that the increasing commercialization and exploitation of the arts began to diminish the quality of the event and that is why we would not advise continuing it in its current form. It is easy to look to Hamilton for the outcome, where most of the arts organizations no longer participate in their crawl.

​

We want to make the point that artists' time and the spaces they create have value, and should not be solicited or used without expectation of compensation for their expertise.
