My story on new art exhibits for July was already in The Bee this morning, when Donald Munro gave me another show that you can catch on Thursday, ArtHop night for downtown Fresno and the Tower District.

A rep for Corridor 2122, at 2122 Mono St., gave Donald some info on an eight-member show called "Liberty." The details say that it examines the idea and reality of liberty in today's society: "Some of the work explores Liberty from the personal level and some from the political, but all the work tries to ask questions about an idea that is fundamental to our society and is most often taken for granted."

Sounds like an intriguing show and right in time for the Fourth of July. The gallery also is open noon-4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

ArtHop receptions typically run 5-8 p.m. ... and don't forget that the third Thursday of each month is ArtHop for venues in Clovis and other areas of Fresno.
