Hotels/Motels (Unofficial Art Fair 2018), provides artists with an affordable environment not unlike a contemporary art fair, to exhibit and place their work to a broader patronage. Our artists create new relationships with curators, dealers, collectors, and art professionals. They will not only profit on 100% sale of their work in the short term, but make long term relationships, and establish a quality mailing list. This “unofficial art fair” is a low cost debut for many artists to the art fair format. It is a platform to experiment and consider investing in larger, "official" art fairs, such as the stARTup Art Fair, Art San Diego, and the Affordable Art Fair. Hotels/Motels is a rewarding investment for artists, a great community builder, and as many would attest, it's a lot of fun!
Contemporary Artist/Curators Submissions
Exhibitors may apply individually or as collectives to curate their own hotel room. Artists keep 100% of all room sales and will be featured on our website with their own webpage, in multiple social media platforms, and possibly inclusion in a printed catalogue. The global marketing of our exhibiting artists is extended months beyond the exhibition dates!
