Art Hop is a monthly program of the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo. The council’s mission is to support, promote and fund the arts in the greater Kalamazoo area. Four times annually, it partners closely with Downtown Kalamazoo Inc., at which time the downtown retail and business community participates to host and “expand” the number of featured artists and locations. The promise of downtown is to be a focal point for a distinctive sense of community, forming the foundation for educational, economic and personal success for all. We invite you to celebrate the arts community on the first Friday of every month through Art Hop, and discover the richness and depth of all that downtown Kalamazoo has to offer during Art Hops & More which occur in March, June, October and December.
