Welcome to one of the stops on the Eastside Culture Crawl this weekend. A major stop. Out of the 300 participating artists, about 90 of them have studios at 1000 Parker Street. Some studios were home to only one artist, and other spaces were shared {for example, the Herd of Women studio shown above – love it!}. Ah, old wood floors, the smell of art supplies in the air, and tonnes of talented artists all around you. There were so many hallways and studio doors that it was easy to get lost. I had to follow fire exits just to find my way out… it was heaven.
