Arthop Trolley Is On the Move!
Fresno,
CA – The Fresno Arts Council is excited to announce that the Arthop
Trolley will be moving from gallery to gallery during the monthly Arthop
event this Thursday evening May 3 starting at 6:00 PM. The Trolley will
move in a continuous loop along Fulton and Van Ness Avenues, between
downtown and the Tower District, from near Railroad Avenue on the south
to Olive Avenue on the north. Its route
is expected to include the Fulton Mall. For this inaugural evening
Trolley rides are free; starting in June riders will pay a nominal fee
of just $1.00.
The Trolley will make numerous stops along the
way between downtown and the Tower District, at locations that will
allow passengers to get off, wander through nearby art galleries, and
hop on again for a return run. This will be a park and ride opportunity,
with one of many stops occurring at the Water Tower on Fresno Street
downtown where there is plenty of parking, and another convenient stop
in the Tower District at Van Ness and Olive Avenues.
With such a
broad array of artists, galleries, musical events, festive food, and
other fun activities going on downtown and in the Tower District each
first Thursday of the month during Arthop, the Arts Council is certain
the new Arthop Trolley is just the thing to ramp up the excitement a
little further. Arts Council board president Julie Linxwiler says, “The
Fresno Trolley is a really exciting addition to Arthop, and we encourage
the public to come out and give it a try. See you on board this
Thursday evening!” Next Art Hop is June 7th.
