A Kennewick Art Fair at Charles Francis Studios

This month’s Art Hop is a curated event by Charles Francis Studio.

They’ve come up with a cool way to showcase art on a monthly basis, with a “Kennewick Art Fair.” This is a time to see, be seen, and buy local art from a large group of creatives, all at once. This series runs April through November, the first Saturday of each month. Make a day of it, sample some wine from @4whistleswinery next door, and try some food from one of the vendors.

What’s an Art Hop? It’s a unique pop-up gallery experience partnering local businesses with local artists for one-of-a-kind events.

FrogPatch Paper & Works volunteers our time to coordinate, curate, and promote these events with @socokennewick and @downtownkennewick, in collaboration with Art Works Northwest.

All artworks are for sale, so support local creatives and businesses!
