Highlights for June 2025
June’s ArtHop Block Party brought the Mural District to life with an unforgettable celebration of art, music, food, and community. Guests explored venues like CMAC, Arte Américas, Valley PBS, and South of Shaw, enjoying live performances, food trucks, pop-up vendors, and creative installations. With ArtHop Passes in hand, attendees collected stamps for raffle prizes while taking in the energy and talent that define Fresno’s art scene.
