The Eastside Culture Crawl Society hosts an annual 4-day visual arts festival the "Culture Crawl" in November that involves artists on Vancouver's Eastside opening their studio to the public. The event is focused on the area bounded by Columbia St, 1st Ave, Victoria Drive, and the Waterfront and involves painters, jewellers, sculptors, furniture makers, weavers, potters, printmakers, photographers, glassblowers; from emerging artists to those internationally established.The Eastside Culture Crawl officially began in 1997 with 45 visual artists in 3 Strathcona area studio buildings and was attended by a few hundred people. Since that time the event has grown to include over 500+ artists, craftspeople and designers attracting an audience of more than 30,000. The organization itself has evolved to represent the heart of the East Van creative community.

ECCS programs additional opportunities for visual artists including workshops and exhibits. For close to 10 years, ECCS has produced Studio 101, an arts education program for inner-city schools. ECCS is committed to supporting artists and ensuring that artists receive payment for their professional artistic contributions. ECCS strives to meet CARFAC fee schedule payments for exhibits, workshops, and reproduction rights.

ECCS acknowledges and pays respect to the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations on whose unceded traditional territories our organization and our work is based.
