Wanna be an
Art Hop Artist?
The Art Hop features 10 artists showing & selling work, art-making activities for all-ages, live music, and partner exhibits at nearby Double Dip Gallery, Ruby’s Bakery, and the Lodi Community Art Center.
One of the most exciting things the Lodi Arts Foundation has been able to do since 2023 is pay artists to participate in the Lodi Art Hop. Each artist selected will be paid $75 in addition to whatever art sales they make throughout the day!
