About Art Hop

Art Hop was created as a way for local artists, organizations, and businesses to showcase their work and to bring the Kalamazoo community together surrounding a shared love of arts and culture. The event is free for the public to attend, and typically takes place downtown Kalamazoo and in surrounding neighborhoods on the first Friday of the month from February through December.
