GALLERY HOP 2025 – INTERACTIVE MAP
An Art-Crawl Adventure through Dawson City!
The Gallery Hop is a self-directed, community-wide art walk that kicks off the Yukon Riverside Arts Festival, transforming local spaces and businesses around Dawson City into temporary exhibition spaces, performance venues, and creative hubs for one night only. This event offers a unique platform for artists to showcase their work, experiment with immersive installations, or engage audiences through live performances and interactive experiences.
