Explore art. Discover Bloomfield. Meet the artists.

Join us for the first annual Bloomfield Arts Crawl, a walkable community arts experience celebrating Bloomfield’s artists, creative spaces, cultural institutions, architecture, history, and community.

Presented by the Sanctuary on the Green Arts, Cultural & Community Alliance (SOGA) in collaboration with the Township of Bloomfield and community partners, the Arts Crawl will transform locations around The Green and nearby Washington Street into places to discover art and creativity.

Throughout the Crawl, visitors will encounter visual art, photography, sculpture, ceramics, student work, artist demonstrations, creative activities, music, historic spaces, and more. Each participating location will have its own personality and experience, so we encourage you to explore the entire route.

Admission is free. Come for an hour, spend the day, or make your way through the entire Crawl!
