What’s this “HooHa” business?
"hoo-ha" or "hoo-hah"
A condition of intense public interest or excitement
"ArtHooHa"
A fun, festive and relaxed Urbana tradition that celebrates the broad spectrum of arts in our community

Art HooHa 07 features art and fine crafts for show and sale by both professional artists and art students who have joined to schedule open studios, home shows, and special gallery hours on the same weekend. This year we are giving back to the community. Each artist has contributed to a fund that will go to Arts Education in C-U. (Each location will have a donation jar available for anyone who like to chip in as well.) The money will be donated to Champaign-Urbana Schools Foundation to be used toward an arts-related grant.

Art HooHa is an unofficial celebration of our creative community and an opportunity to support artists while you find unique gifts for your holiday list (or for yourself). We hope you enjoy our little event and its relaxed atmosphere where you can check out both the goods and the studios, nibble on some cheese, shop for presents and have fun. Bring your friends.
