Short North Gallery Hop
Once a month, the Short North Alliance hosts a celebration of art and culture with the Short North Gallery Hop. For 40 years, the Short North Arts District has opened its streets to the Gallery Hop on the first Saturday of each month, and January 4 will mark the first Hop of 2025.
Throughout the evening, visitors immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the District, enjoying new gallery exhibitions, lively street performances, special events, and an array of food and drinks. With a mix of traditional galleries and unique exhibit spaces, it’s no wonder this monthly celebration attracts thousands of visitors each month.
The Gallery Hop highlights artistic expression in classic galleries and unconventional settings like restaurants, boutiques and salons. Attendees can discover an impressive range of creations by up-and-coming and established Ohio artists and exceptional pieces from talent worldwide.
The streets of the Short North Arts District transform into a celebration of art, filled with mesmerizing performers and talented vendors. Musicians, dancers, stilt walkers and dramatic performers captivate the crowd, creating an electrifying atmosphere. Artisans also present unique, handcrafted items, offering a truly one-of-a-kind shopping experience.
