KALAMAZOO, MI — Kalamazoo’s Edison neighborhood occasionally does things differently. For example, other places commonly have art hops or art walks, but Edison has an art crawl, intended to slow the pace and let people see and feel the neighborhood’s vibe.
Edison’s upcoming art crawl will have customary things like music, food, and crafts for children, but a different feature will be poets performing at some of the stops. This is a collaboration between the Edison Neighborhood Association (ENA) and the Kalamazoo Poetry Festival (KPF). The free event is called the Washington Avenue Arts & Culture Crawl, and it will begin at noon on Saturday, Oct. 11.
The starting point is the Dormouse Theatre, 1030 Portage St. From there, Crawl participants can cross Portage and walk two blocks south to Washington Avenue, then walk along it to Cameron Street. The total distance is seven-tenths of a mile, and there will be activities from 12 to 4:30 p.m. Here is a link to the schedule and a map.
Black Magic Media schedules musicians for the Crawl, and they will include singer Good Maybe performing from 12 to 12:30 at Dormouse Theatre; deejay Quin Alan Ellis, 2 to 2:30 at Cauldron, 812 Washington Ave; and vocalist Asia Sings, 3 to 3:30 at the intersection of Washington and Cameron streets…
