Showcasing artists from Langdale/Gambier Island to Earls Cove
This is an opportunity to participate in this community event and showcase your talent to visitors (in 2021 during our 2nd year of Covid, following all the pandemic protocols, there were over 37,000 studio visits with $528,000+ in recorded sales).
Following the Covid-19 Health restrictions at the time of the Crawl, in-person visits were possible following all the current (at that time) health regulations. Please be reassured that in 2022, we will continue to follow all Provincial Health Guidelines to ensure the safety of participating artists and crawlers.

Purple Banner Tour Details
Purple Banners wave from the sides of the road as part of a self-guided arts tour. The Map Guide is a chance for the public to discover galleries, private studios and shops that offer original creations from local artists throughout the year.
The Purple Banner Studio & Gallery Guide printed brochure goes on the shelves annually in May. We print and broadly distribute 20,000 copies which are racked on BC Ferries and the downtown Tourism Vancouver Visitors Centre and many other locations on and off coast.
Criteria to be in the Purple Banner Guide Regular Listings: ($120)
