Stroll, socialize, sip, shop and buzz about what’s new and now at galleries, studios and out-of-the-box exhibit spaces just about everywhere. A self-guided tour of the visual arts in downtown Lexington, LexArts HOP is the place to be the third Friday of every other month, and admission is always free. Things are hopping from 5-8 p.m, with many sites and supporting venues going ’til the wee hours at restaurants, bars and other spaces.
