In Bob's Burgers season 1 episode 8, titled "Art Crawl," the Belcher family prepares for the annual event in which the local artists of the town display their work at various locations. However, Bob is less than thrilled about the event and initially refuses to take part in it. Meanwhile, the kids are excited to go out and see the artwork, particularly Louise, who has a different agenda altogether.
As night falls and the artists' work begins to go on display, the Belchers find themselves immersed in various quirky situations. Linda, who is in charge of a pretzel stand, has to deal with a temperamental customer who becomes upset when his pretzel is served too hot. Gene, on the other hand, is more interested in making friends with an artist who is painting a mural outside the restaurant.
Bob, still reluctant to take part in the event, decides to leave and get something to eat. However, his plans change when he stumbles upon an original piece of artwork at a grocery store. With newfound excitement, Bob is inspired to show off the piece at the Art Crawl after all.
Meanwhile, Louise hatches a plan to sell Bob's artwork for an exorbitant amount of money. She convinces a couple passing by on the street that the painting is worth much more than its actual value and even takes them to the house to show them more of Bob's "work." Once the couple leaves to withdraw money, Louise attempts to scramble and create more artwork to keep up with the guise.
As the night progresses, tensions begin to rise as Bob realizes that his prized painting has gone missing. After the realization that Louise may have had something to do with its disappearance, the family sets out to retrieve it before the couple comes back to make their purchase.
In the end, Art Crawl proves to be a success for the Belcher family as they all learn valuable lessons about art, creativity, and the importance of family. The episode concludes with the family sharing a meal and admiring the artwork they've created throughout the episode.
