Explore artwork of all different media, including postcards, paintings, sculptures and an array of artistic expression. The Westside Art Hop has a little bit of something for everyone with art from predominately local artists ranging in price from $3 to $500.

During your stroll take a look at the 17 different venues, all within walking distance between 1st Street and Eberwhite Nature Area, each housing the works of between two to 10 artists. The largest venue is Gretchen’s House Childcare which will host 10 artists.

For parking, try to find a spot on the street, or at either Eberwhite or Bach Elementary schools.

The first Westside Art Hop took place in 2012 and have been running biannually ever since. The brainchild of Sophie Grillet, Laila Kujala, Larry Nisson and Susan Major, Art Hop welcomes hundreds of visitors each year and attracts the attention of people throughout Ann Arbor. Venue hosts, neighborhood homeowners and businesses, offer their spaces to the artists whose work has been selected by a jury.

Artists interested in showing their work, or people curious about hosting, can email Westside Art Hop (WestsideArtHop@gmail.com) and see the art fair/ art stroll’s website for requirements. Check out their facebook page for updates leading up to the event.
