ABOUT GALLERY HOP

Gallery Hop is a 35+ year tradition in Columbus’ Short North Arts District! Every first Saturday of each month, thousands of visitors converge on High Street to see new art exhibits and add to their growing art collections. With dozens of galleries and non-traditional exhibit spaces, it’s Columbus’ favorite day of the month to celebrate art and community.

Starting in October, the Short North Alliance will program High Street with Performers and Vendors from 3 p.m. through 7 p.m.

ABOUT THE STREET PERFORMER AND VENDOR PROGRAM

The Short North Alliance holds a Community Market License (No. 2013014800), issued by the City of Columbus Department of Public Safety. The Community Market License allows the Short North Alliance to have authority over the public right-of-way on High Street from Goodale St to 5th Avenue on Gallery Hop Saturdays to ensure public safety during Gallery Hop nights.

Included are the Gallery Hop Performer and Vendor Guidelines for the event in compliance with the City of Columbus rules and regulations. In order to participate during Gallery Hop, you must complete a monthly application via the form below to obtain a permit. Priority will be given to applications received by the 15th of the MONTH PRIOR to the date of Gallery Hop.

Performers and vendors are selected on a monthly basis at the discretion of the Short North Alliance based on the availability of space, overall mix of applicants, and in consideration of other activities that may be happening in the district on a given night. If performers and vendors meet the guidelines and space allows, the Short North Alliance will issue a permit to those selected no later than the Monday BEFORE Gallery Hop.

Please download and read the UPDATED Gallery Hop Performer and Vendor Guidelines prior to the submission of your application. Your online signature and agreement to these guidelines are required in the form below.
