The Hotel La More gets a little quiet in the summer… so we’re turning extra rooms into mini galleries, pop-up shops, installations, and wild experiences for one unforgettable week: July 20th-27th (pending figuring out the best dates while gaging interest!) This is part artist residency, part desert flea market, part Burning Man in a hotel. We’re offering 7+ rooms to artists, makers, and weirdos to create whatever they want. Gallery? Ritual? Dreamscape? You decide. We will also be opening up our parlor and dining room to residency/performance/whatever if that space suits your idea better.
