“Join us every First Saturday for an art tour through West Eugene’s Warehouse District. Discover tucked away galleries, vibrant artist studios, cozy breweries, eclectic cafes and community spaces. Connect with artists in their studios, enjoy live music and community crafting, find a work of art you want to take home, and so much more! Whether traveling by bike or carpooling with friends, intriguing and interactive art experiences await on your tour of West Eugene’s creative industrial district. Hop to!”
The Art Hop launched in August of 2025 with a group of West Eugene artists and businesses including Spetzler Designs, Caffe Pacori, The Oblivion Gallery (home of Jud Turner and Renee Mahni), Pinebox (home of FRIPP jewelry, Good Creative and Pinemarten Building Co.), Shadowfox, Viking Brewing, Switch Gallery, Trainsong Hairshop, Arable Brewing and more.
“Our aim is to connect artists with their surrounding community, to offer an event where visitors of all kinds can connect with artists in their studio spaces ~ to both see where the magic happens and see the magic itself. We want The Art Hop to become a monthly heart beat of creative connection in the hidden gem that is the West Eugene Warehouse District.”
