During the nine days that it was open in February 2016, nearly 15,000 people toured Art Hotel, an ambitious temporary art project that took over the defunct Jade Apartments building in downtown Sacramento, filling the rooms hallways, and staircases with work from over 100 artists. Now the group behind Art Hotel, M5 Arts, is hinting at their next project, Art Street. Details are sparse as of yet, but we do know from a Facebook event page created by M5 that Art Street will take place Feb. 3–25, 2017 and that the group is throwing a Kickstarter launch party at The Red Museum (212 15th St.) on Wednesday, Nov. 2 starting at 7 p.m. We’re guessing there will be a big push to raise funds for the Art Street project, so if you’re the type of person that likes to see rad things happening in Sacramento, we suggest you either hit up the Nov. 2 event (tickets are just $10) and/or keep an eye out on M5’s website (M5arts.com) or their Facebook page (Facebook.com/m5arts) for more information on how to contribute. As of press time there was also an Art Street artist application form available to fill out on M5’s website, so if you’re an artist from Sacramento or beyond and would like to be a part of the project, we suggest you get your pitch submitted right away. You can also currently pre-order the official Art Hotel coffee table book through M5’s website for just $39 (pro tip: this would make an amazing gift for the art lovers on your holiday shopping lists!).
