Since July of 2005, when the Truth or Consequences Art Hop began, many downtown shops, galleries, and studios have been opening their doors to the public from 6-9pm each month.

Even as the landscape of downtown businesses has changed…through wind, rain, sleet, snow, and summer heat…with crowds large or small…the Truth or Consequences Art Hop has been a constant.

If you enjoy a bit of night life and are coming to Sierra County for the weekend, time your trip to coincide with the Truth or Consequences Art Hop, held on the 2nd Saturday monthly, and take in art (guaranteed), music (highly probable, especially since the brewery opened), performance (frequent), food (absolutely!), and other entertainment on the streets of T or C and in its downtown businesses.

The best way to find out what’s going on is to check on Facebook or Insta, or just go! Shows are sometimes planned last-minute. Other events happen spontaneously. But information on shows and events pops up in various locations, including:

• on the Art Hop Facebook page
• on flyers posted in windows and on bulletin boards around town
• on the social media pages and websites of participating businesses

A list of T or C businesses is available on our Shopping page. Shops open for Art Hop are located in the commercial district which is roughly contained in the green area on the map below. Commercial hot springs are located within the blue area.
