Art Hop is one of the most visible programs created and supported by the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo, but the list of ACGK activity is much larger than most people realize. Executive Director Kristen Chesak joins Cara Lieurance to talk about how the council has sustained and helped focus the work of artists in southwest Michigan - filmmakers, painters, dancers, musicians, ceramic artists, playwrights, performers and craftspeople of all kinds.
For the February Art Hop, there will be 28 stops, and a new array of sidewalk signs to help orient the crowds in downtown Kalamazoo. You can visit the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo on the second floor of the Epic Center, 359 S. Kalamazoo Mall.
