After building up Arthop for over ten years, the event outgrew the casual WORD OF MOUTH and social media marketing of uncoordinated team efforts. After a discouraging attempt to seperate the outdoor vending into a completely seperate event, talks have begun to consider reconsiling the split back into the original 1st Thursdays event. The majority of the public is unaware that Arthop still exisits. We aim to keep the public informed and offer ways to participate and be interactive in the process of keeping the ARTIST as the main focus and the area safe for all attendees. We have formed a variety of teams to help collaborate and participate in distributing facts and stats on a variety of platforms and with a PRINT BOOKLET much like the Rogue Performance Guide. It will include the Official Arthop Map as well as helpful facts, rules and resources. This independant publication will offer additional advertising space for venues as well as Artist spotlight features. Thank you for helping us make this year a historical achievement for unity in the arts community.
