Downtown EC Art Venues Consider Monthly Crawls

Betty Nikia |

Drew Seveland, co-owner of Infinitea Tea House, appreciates the many art events going on in Eau Claire; now he just wants to coordinate a way for a cluster of them to happen on the same night. Seveland has been ruminating on this idea for over a year, and already has a number of spaces on board. The main obstacle so far is time – something small business owners rarely have enough of. Seveland hopes that the newly developed Arts Link, a group geared toward younger arts enthusiasts, will provide the kind of involvement that can make something like a recurring art crawl a reality. Followers of local artists and performers could wander from venue to venue downtown, with the option of sitting down mid-crawl for a nibble and a sip to chat about the event. If you are interested in seeing this happen, feel free to contact Seveland at info@infinitea.com.
