Welcome to the New Era of Port Huron Art Hop!
For years, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) proudly presented Art Hop, a beloved community event showcasing local talent. Now, we're excited to announce that Foundry has taken the reins, bringing fresh energy and a renewed vision to this celebration of creativity.
Foundry's mission aligns perfectly with the spirit of Art Hop: to provide unique, entertaining, and inclusive experiences that enrich our community. We're honored to continue this tradition and have reimagined Art Hop to offer even greater opportunities for artists and art enthusiasts alike.
What's Changing?
This year, Art Hop is expanding to include a dynamic art contest displayed throughout Port Huron, alongside our traditional craft show.
The contest will open Friday May 9th and run through Friday May 23rd. It will have two first place, two second place and two third place winners with one set being voted on by the community and the other set voted on by a select set of nominated judges. As we are just getting started, our Spring event will not have cash prizes, however, our Fall event will, stay tuned!
Opening Day Craft Show (Friday, May 9):
- We're kicking off the 14-day celebration with a vibrant craft show, maintaining the spirit of our traditional Art Hop.
- This is your opportunity to showcase and sell your handcrafted creations, just as you have in the past.
14-Day Juried Art Contest (May 9 - 23):
- Artists will display their submitted artwork at participating businesses and venues across Port Huron.
- The artwork will be judged for awards, and the community will have the opportunity to engage with the art throughout the 14 days.
Awards Ceremony (Friday, May 23):
