As the Gladstone Hotel’s annual alternative design event, Come Up to My Room showcases the collaborative efforts of designers and artists as they transform 11 rooms and create 14 public space installations.

This year’s show is curated by Jeremy Vandermeij and Deborah Wang and features design talk events and curatorial tours. Curators select designers and artists based on their past work and experience, then turn over the exhibition space with little knowledge about what the finished piece will look like. By giving the artists and designers complete freedom, the final results are challenging, thought-provoking, and extraordinary.

Today is the last day of Come Up to My Room; exhibition hours are from noon until 5pm. Tickets are $10 for the general public. Tickets can be purchased on the Come Up To My Room website.
