Explore art. Discover Bloomfield. Meet the artists.

Presented by the Sanctuary on the Green Arts & Cultural Alliance (SOGA) in collaboration with the Township of Bloomfield and community partners, the Arts Crawl transforms locations around Bloomfield’s historic Town Green, Broad Street, Liberty Street, and Washington Street into places to discover art and creativity.

Throughout the Crawl, visitors will encounter painting, photography, mixed media, illustration, sculpture, ceramics, wearable art, student work, artist demonstrations, creative activities, music, historic spaces, and more.

About the Bloomfield Arts Crawl

The Bloomfield Arts Crawl was created to celebrate the artists, cultural organizations, creative spaces, businesses, historic places, and people who make Bloomfield such a vibrant community.

Centered around Bloomfield’s historic town Green, the Bloomfield Arts Crawl invites residents and visitors to experience art beyond the walls of a traditional gallery and discover creativity throughout the community.

The inaugural 2026 Bloomfield Arts Crawl is organized by the Sanctuary on the Green Arts, Cultural & Community Alliance (SOGA) with the support of the Township of Bloomfield and community partners.

How to Experience the Crawl

Start anywhere. Explore everywhere.

There is no required starting point or direction. Begin at Bloomfield Presbyterian Church on the Green, start at Every Day Grind Coffee Company and follow the route in reverse, or join the Crawl at any participating location along the way.

Each stop offers a different experience. Visitors will encounter art studios, galleries, historic churches, the library, the Civic Center, Bloomfield College, local businesses, restaurants, and other spaces that help tell the creative story of Bloomfield.

Some locations will feature artwork throughout their open hours, while others may offer artist meet-and-greets, demonstrations, music, student art, activities, historical or architectural experiences, and other special programming.

Check this page throughout the Arts Crawl weekend for the latest venue hours, artist information, and programming.
