The Skeleton Crawl exists to help emerging and established artists thrive. We put the artist first, requiring no submission fees for exhibitions & no profit from their art sales. We believe artists should have access to a platform where they can share their work with the public without paying out of pocket.
We rely on donations from generous donors and the sales from our online shop to keep the Crawl afloat. 100% of donations received are used to pay participating artists, keep our website online, and bring to life our annual Skeleton Crawl event. We do not make a profit for our efforts, but hopefully our artists do.
Donations are not tax-deductible as we are currently not classified as a non-profit. We aim to obtain this status soon.
