ArtHop
ArtHop was started by the Fresno Arts Council to celebrate the arts in Fresno. Every first and third Thursday of the month, art lovers and enthusiasts can meet artists and enjoy live entertainment in Downtown Fresno and throughout the Fresno Metro Area. ArtHop is open to the public and features free entry to exhibitions, gallery shows, special performances, and unique art experiences for all ages. To learn more about ArtHop click the button below.

Bringing Back Fulton Street ArtHop
690 of you responded. 98% of you voted for it to come back and, in the choice between two possible days, 60% of those with a preference wanted it on the first Thursday of each month. After relaying these results to City leaders and other partners, we are grateful that the Fresno Arts Council has stepped up to lead the return of Art Hop to Fulton Street starting Thursday, June 5, 2025.
