In its third year in 2013, the Arts Crawl at Bates has become a signature event, a campus tour that showcases student expressive work across disciplines.<\/p>\n

So if you were at Bates for the 2013 Crawl<\/a>, late in the day on Jan. 25, you might have heard classic jazz or original poetry. You might have seen artists in their studios or dancers on a Memorial Commons stage. You might have lingered around the “All Things Chocolate” station in Olin Arts Center and admired the luminarias that lined campus walkways.<\/p>\n

This year, though, the Arts Crawl seemed to take on a new role, as the anchor for a weekend in the arts at Bates. As always, Friday night’s Crawl was followed that night and on Saturday by performances of the funny, electric variety show known as Asia Night<\/a>, sponsored by the student organization Sangai Asia.<\/p>\n

But this time there was still another treat in store: Saturday night’s opening of an exhibition by acclaimed textile-installation artist Fransje Killaars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Receptions at both the Bates College Museum of Art and downtown Lewiston’s Museum L-A, which are collaborating on Killaars’ exhibition Color at the Center<\/em>, provided a sense of critical mass that really made the weekend something special for folks invested in the arts.<\/p>\n
