Clough Commons Art Crawl
The 1st Annual Clough Commons Art Crawl was held on 10 February 2012 on the Georgia Tech campus. The event featured a diverse range of student artwork including drawings, paintings, sculpture, photography, poetry and prose, music, digital art, spoken word, and performance art.
