As with every year of the Banbury Art Crawl in downtown Eau Claire, its 16th iteration was made complete with its art, music and community connections.

This past weekend from Feb. 6-7, patrons stepped into buildings 10 and 13 of Banbury Place (800 Wisconsin St., Eau Claire) and were greeted by more than 100 artists; mediums spanning ceramics, painting, fiber arts, jewelry, dance and music, metalwork, woodworking and more. Not to mention, the local grub available for folks to enjoy in-between checking out each artists' studio space.

Following the two-day festivities, the annual Banbury Art Crawl award winners were announced online. Participating artists were judged by Beth Moga, the owner of Paper Palette Company – a dedicated storefront which hands on exploration for artists of all ages and experience levels in downtown Eau Claire.
