How it all began . . .

Step into the story behind nearly two decades of art, community, and craft along Highway 84.

Welcome to the 19th annual Arts Off 84 Art Crawl! Please visit all six sites. You will be amazed at the unique and talented artists who are a part of the Art Crawl family.

Having always been interested in art, starting an art crawl seemed like the most natural outlet for the artistic talents of Larry & Sherry Chapin and the artists they admired. The Chapin’s, along with neighbor, Dave Sohn, started the event around the lake where they reside. The Lake Ada Art Crawl made its debut in 2008. It consisted of five sites around the lake with a total of 31 artists. Three years later Sohn left the Crawl and the Chapin’s grew the event to span Highway 84 from Pine River to Longville, thus, the name, Arts Off 84 Art Crawl. The sites have changed over the years and the Art Crawl has grown in popularity and in the number of vendors. The Chapin’s are proud of what they started and are grateful to those who share their vision. Larry passed away in 2018.

The mission of Arts off 84 is to promote the works of local and regional artists to provide an art presence along scenic Highway 84.

Jan Stadtheer retired in 2026 after dedicating over 10 years to the Art Crawl. Jan’s mission will continue under the leadership of Amy Kromminga, organizer. She is assisted by Barb Anderson, Midori Marcum, Bob and Becky Seemann, Grant Kromminga, Sherry Chapin, and Steve Hansen of the Pine River Foundation, the fiscal agent. The committee will continue to serve the community by offering a wide range of high-quality, handcrafted artistic forms.
