The second annual Art Crawl Downtown Lincolnton, which took place on March 18, 2011, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., was a huge success! The event was sponsored by First Federal Savings Bank and was a collaboration between a handful of downtown organizations, including: the Arts Council of Lincoln County, Downtown Development Association of Lincolnton, Lincolnton-Lincoln County Chamber of Commerce, Lincoln Cultural Center, and Lincoln County Historical Association.


Artists were paired with merchants in downtown Lincoln who transformed their buildings into mini art galleries. The event featured nearly 40 participating businesses and more than 85 artists from Lincoln County that include potters, photographers, wood turners, poets, musicians, bead artists, folk artists, soap makers, sculptors, and so many more. The event included fun, food, music, and art which in turn brought over 1,000 spectators into our historic downtown.


Thank you to all the businesses and artists that participating in the event. The event could not have been such a wonderful success without each and every one of you. We look forward to seeing you at next year’s Art Crawl Downtown Lincolnton!
