Do It. Venice Art Crawl.

By now, everyone (or at least it feels that way) knows about and heads out to downtown's monthly Art Walk. But if you want to try to avoid the ridiculous crowds and maybe even get to appreciate some art, head west for the Venice Art Crawl tonight.

With its quirky and free-spirited atmosphere, Venice seems like the perfect setting for an art crawl, but the every-third-Thursday-of-the-month event actually only began last month. Still, it already seems like it's growing to be a big one this time around, with a list of what looks like hundreds of artists expected to participate. Plus, many of the artists will be showing off their works in fun pop-up galleries, so expect creative art spaces in unusual spots.

And of course, the best part of it all is that it's free. So take some time to breathe in that seaside air, enjoy that scene that is Venice, and get ready to see some great art (and remember, it's just a crawl!).
