A community for creativity is back for year two.
Last year, four White Bear Lake area women came together to create a community art crawl, opening their homes and yards to the public and hosting more than 50 artists, crafters and musicians. The event went so well, the group decided to move forward as Bald Eagle Lake Arts, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on connecting the community through art.
“[The first crawl] just went beyond expectations; the community showed up in numbers. It was a steady flow at all of our host sites,” says Alyssa Boldischar, Bald Eagle Lake Arts board vice president and art crawl host. “The artists felt seen, there was communication on how they created their craft and it was just amazing to watch people connecting over art.”
The second annual Bald Eagle Lake Art Crawl will take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m on September 13, promising a bigger and better opportunity for art lovers to enjoy the work of more than 80 featured artists at 10 host sites around Bald Eagle Lake. Using an event map, visitors are encouraged to travel by foot, bike and car in search of beautiful art and a good time.
This year, each site will feature live music, and a few stops will include kids’ art stations, including an opportunity to make a piece of art with a therapy dog. For more information and to get an event map, visit belarts.org.
