Announcing the launch of HIDDEN ROOMS, the first in the ongoing ART AT THE RENDON pop-up event series taking place at the former Rendon Hotel (2055 E 7th Street, Los Angeles, CA) in the Downtown LA Arts District. Featuring artist takeovers of the Rendon’s 44 vacant rooms, the first iteration of HIDDEN ROOMS will take place for three days, opening on June 1, 2018 with a private press preview taking place on June 1 from 4pm to 6pm; following with an invitation-only VIP event on June 1, 2018 from 6pm to 11pm; a private invitation-only artist reception on June 2, 2018 from 6pm to 11pm, and a community event, open to the public, held on June 3, 2018 from 11am to 8pm for a suggested donation of $20. All proceeds will benefit Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (ICA LA) and Artshare L.A. The donation to ICA LA will benefit the museum’s learning program with Metropolitan High School.
HIDDEN ROOMS is the first in the ART AT THE RENDON series, a multidisciplinary program bringing art, musical performances, lectures, artist residencies and film screenings to the local community at the now-vacant Rendon Hotel prior to its refurbishment with the purpose of supporting the Downtown LA community and the artists who enrich the neighborhood and LA at large.
Curated by Cartwheel Art founder and local LA Arts District advocate, Cindy Schwartzstein, HIDDEN ROOMS will present artist activations, murals and live music by over 60 artists in 44 rooms across the hotel’s three floors, its parking lot and the corner dive bar. Cocktails and artisanal beers will be created in the Arts District including Angel City Brewery, Iron Triangle Brewing, and Greenbar Distillery.
