Croctober with Dan Reid | October 2025

The storm disrupted so much, including our fall and winter schedule last year. This residency is rescheduled from last October, and we are pleased to present Croctober, curated by Brett Naucke. Croctober will feature a playful series of silly Croc-inspired paintings and drawings created for Croctober Fest. Each piece celebrates the iconic shoe with humor and charm, guaranteed to spark laughter and smiles. Lighthearted, quirky, and a little absurd—this collection is all about joy, fun, and creative Croc appreciation.

Born and raised in the picturesque land of Asheville, North Carolina, D aka Dan aka Daniel (only when people are mad at him) is an artist whose creativity flows as freely as their love for Crocs. Known for their distinctive style, they merge the comfort of these iconic clogs with their vibrant artwork, often found sporting a pair in every imaginable color while creating masterpieces. Whether they’re recreating famous paintings or replacing famous people’s faces with their favorite shoe, you can bet their Crocs are always the muse for their next big idea. In the world of art, D proves that the right footwear can truly inspire greatness—or at least a lot of chuckles.
