The council hosts the 'Art Hop' on the first Friday of every month. Art Hop is a free event when local artists' work is on exhibit at downtown galleries and shops. Visitors can "hop" between venues to take in the artwork, live music, and the opportunity to chat with the artists. The Park Trades Center, home to the Kalamazoo Book Arts Center, Glass Art Kalamazoo, and numerous other studios, is a well-liked location during Art Hop.
