Watch art come to life – past, present and future — at the 2nd Friday Art Hop on July 8 from 5-8pm. This month’s Art Hop also includes a massive backyard bash at Hudson Park Center that brings the weird and wonderful to life.

Art and activities may be found throughout historic Main Street, First & Main, the Evaporator Works, and South Hudson.

To do the “Hop,” look for the 2nd Friday Art Hop signs around town and pick up a map.
