In 2006 EVAC hosted the "Shoe Show". Hosted by the Fitch
Gallery and sponsored by the Downtown Community Alliance,
this exhibition was open to artists and art aficionados as a way to build community through the arts. All works were themed around
footwear and bartered for with goods and services, creating a unique interaction between the artist and the buyer.
