Welcome to the Canadian Art Hop.
April 25 - 28, 2024 across Canada.
From coast to coast, The Canadian Art Hop spotlights the diverse and dynamic tapestry of arts through commercial galleries, artist-run centres, and public museums and galleries.
Embracing a multitude of mediums, styles, and narratives, the participating spaces are highlighted as hubs of creativity, fostering dialogue and engagement within their communities during the weekend and thereafter.
Participants should expect great art, interesting programming, and the ability to visit these spaces thereafter.
