Courier-Post
Having an art crawl in the city at first sounds like a living oxymoron — fostering an arts community in a city plagued with problems that overshadow its possibilities does not seem promising. The Butlers — Ronja and William — knew that when they lifted the plan from other cities with art walks and put on the first 3rd Thursday Art Crawl in February of 2012.
