Hotel Room Art Auction
@ Ace Hotel Chicago
311 N Morgan St, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Sunday, July 21st, from 5 PM - 7:30 PM
Sponsored by Ace Hotel, resident artist Kara Jefts will host an auction event in a hotel room suite inspired by the elite art world of auction houses. The evening program parodies high stakes bidding in a raucous participatory event. Will you be the winning bidder??
The hotel suite opens to the public at 5:00 pm for a viewing hour where attendees can survey work by Chicago-based artists exhibited throughout the room. Interested buyers can register for numbered paddles to try their hand at placing a winning bid. At 6:15 the room transitions for auction, a simple set and props will be arranged to make way for the auctioneer, art handlers, and absentee bid representatives. Starting bids for work included ranges from $5-$100. Get your paddle ready!
