Championing the Arts in Amherstburg
Supporting local artists and building a vibrant creative community through initiatives like the Amherstburg Art Crawl.
Our Mission
Our ambition is to champion the arts in Amherstburg, Ontario, and celebrate the many benefits of a vibrant arts community.
Building on the success of the inaugural Art Crawl in 2023, the event continues to grow as an annual celebration of creativity. Each year, the Art Crawl strengthens Amherstburg’s momentum as a wonderful place to live, visit, and experience the arts.
Art Amherstburg Society
We are a Not-for-profit organization dedicated to championing the Arts in Amherstburg and surrounding communities. The Art Amherstburg Society consists of a dedicated group of volunteers, comprising talented local artists and passionate community builders.
All funds raised during the Art Crawl go directly toward supporting and expanding the arts in our community - such as creating new murals, extending event hours, and enhancing local initiatives - ensuring every dollar is reinvested locally.

“Don't think about making art, just get it done.
Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it.
While they are deciding, make even more art.”
