“We are excited to have a permanent home in downtown San Antonio and are grateful to have the opportunity to work with so many talented artists. Community is very important to us and we are eager to become a valued participant of this one.” Nicole Jensen, co-founder.

Co-founded in 2018 by Austin entrepreneurs Nicole Jensen and Hunter Inman, Hopscotch provides distinct experiences through the curation of local-centric, immersive and experiential art. Recently, Hopscotch presented an exhibition in Austin, TX that featured 13 distinctive installations and showcased works from a variety of local Austin artists as well as a selection of national and international artists. Following the limited run exhibition, Hopscotch announced their move to a permanent gallery and event space in downtown San Antonio. This space will rotate similar interactive and immersive exhibitions beginning in late 2019/early 2020. These exhibitions will feature different Central Texas based artists as well as a selection of national and international artists.
