Hotel Des Arts SF

Hotel_des_arts41
V gave me the gift of reconnecting to, and being rejuvenated by art – For my birthday she took me to San Francisco for the weekend and we stayed at the very cool Hotel Des Arts. Some of the most influential street artists that have come from the SF scene have come together to "do up" the rooms.

We stayed in the Vinyl Killer room... stencil on old LPs, yup!

You can take a tour of the rooms on their website and a few of the artists have posted videos about how they feel about the project and the hotel.

If that weren't enough the hotel's hallways are filled with rotating showcases.

The Warholians exhibit at Royal T in Culver City is very worth checking out. It's sponsored by Barbie no less so it was destined to be fabulous. Highlights: Warhol originals - Marylin, and Dollar Sign, Shepard Fairy print, and the pop-up store's display of Barbies.

Plastic is Fantastic...

You can find a robust review at Caroline on Crack with video tour and list of artists.
