Short NorthJoin the ONU Student Art League on a trip to Columbus! With over 20 years of tradition, the Short North is renowned for the buzz of "Gallery Hop."

The first Saturday of every month, thousands of visitors converge on the strip, the epicenter of the High Street Experience. They come to celebrate art and partake in an evening of sights, sounds, food, shopping, and cosmopolitan fun. Though many shops are open earlier, the Gallery Hop officially starts at 4PM and runs to 10PM with restaurants staying open considerably later.

On a typical Hop, over 40 galleries and non-traditional art venues (think restaurants, boutiques, and salons) spotlight the best of established and emerging Ohio-based artists. They also feature the works of nationally and internationally acclaimed artists.

Also during this Hop, catch the Warhol Express from the Short North to the Wexner Center or from the Wexner Center to the Short North. The Warhol Express is a free direct shuttle (continuous run every 20 minutes) that will pick up and drop-off at La Fogata Grill (790 N. High St) in the Short North with direct service to and from the Wexner Center. Pick up and drop off at the Wexner Center will be on College Avenue.
