Take Flight
Oct 08, 2025 - Nov 05, 2025
Take Flight Benefit
October 7th – November 4th, 2025
In celebration of 29 years of Vancouver’s beloved art festival, the Eastside Arts Society holds Take Flight – a festival launch benefit for the 2025 Culture Crawl festival featuring an online silent auction, and the return of our wildly popular Art Roulette draw!
By making this benefit a success, our audiences galvanize EAS’s work in making the Eastside Arts District the vibrant neighbourhood we know and love – and will ensure we can continue to bring our community together through accessible art for decades to come. ART HAPPENS HERE!

Check out the whole collection of fabulous items online at 32 Auctions very soon.
The Silent Auction opens October 25th and closes November 4th at 6pm!

Your Support Means A Lot
Supporting Take Flight enables an entire community of artists to have professional opportunities like the 29th Annual Culture Crawl and the Eastside Arts Festival, as well as provide in-studio art workshops for 220 inner city youth and develop an Eastside Arts District. By participating in this benefit, the public galvanizes EAS’s work in making the Eastside Arts District the vibrant neighbourhood we know and love – and will ensure we can continue to bring our community together through art for decades to come. ART HAPPENS HERE!
