So, you're not meaning to miss ArtHop tonight. Except it's Thursday and after work and maybe you're a little wrecked from Halloween.
Don't let you're cool friends make you feel bad. It's not the end of the world.
Here's a little secret: The art’s gonna be there all month.

Famous gives some quick picks for November: (Feel free to add your own if you got them).

“Contemporary Comtemporaneo,” featuring Walfred Aguilar Rodriguez and Nigel Robertson

Fresno Art Museum, 2233 N. First St.
11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesdays to Sundays, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursdays, through November
(559) 441-4221, www.myspace.com/nigelrobertson

Here’s the rub: You take one promising artist visiting from Mexico, pair him up with one of Fresno’s finest, then step back and see what they create.
Walfred Aguilar Rodriguez is from Oaxaca and creates abstracts in bright bold colors.
Nigel Robertson is from Fresno and paints the dark, scary stuff.
He should be well known to Famous readers. He lives at the Pearl Building (that’s in the Cultural Arts District) and recently moved back into Broadway Studios, once home to Fresno’s favorite expat artists.
The pair has been working together since late September.

“Threads,” Diana Griffin and works from Hilda Bogosyan

First and second floors, Fresno City Hall; 2600 Fresno St.
8 a.m. to 5 p.m., through Nov. 30

You know City Hall, right? It’s that place downtown everyone says looks like a space ship, where the mayor never works.
Well, they hang art there each month and it’s actually a really nice space.
In November, Diana Griffin’s “Threads” shows on the second floor. On the first floor, see work from Uruguaian artist Hilda Bogosyan. This is only her third individual exhibit in the United States.
While you’re there, why not check out a council meeting or pay that parking ticket.

“Vintage Pop,” by Steve Norton

Gallery 25, downtown on the corner of Mono and Van Ness
1 to 4 p.m., Sunday Nov. 4; 1 to 4 p.m., Fridays to Sundays, through Nov. 25
Private visits are also available
(559) 264-4092, www.gallery25.com

Steve Norton’s “Vintage Pop,” is found art of sorts, taken from vintage graphics and photographs he’s collected from the early to mid-20th century.
In Norton’s words (from his Web site):

“There’s something very Dada about making art with found objects — love that feeling — though the image combinations and juxtapositions I create are perhaps more loaded than one of Duchamp’s readymades (sometimes a snow shovel is just a snow shovel). Though this series is firmly rooted in the traditions of Surrealism, Dada, and Assemblage, yet two-dimensional, the images are strangely contemporary. Perhaps this is due to the high tech construction and fabrication of the imagery (all digital, inkjet on canvas) in combination with the conceptual and visual content of each piece.”

So, there you have it.

“5th Annual Nudes in November”

Chris M. Sorensen Studio
2223 S. Van Ness Ave.
9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday, through Nov. 30
(559) 237-4934

A juried and judged show featuring nude artwork. We’ll abstain from making a “nude” joke if you'll just go see the show.

We're a little too wrecked from Halloween to deal with adding links. Maybe tomorrow.
