Showtel

For the past 8 years, ArtSite Projects has created a very unique annual art exhibition called Showtel.  Showtel is a one-of-a-kind event that transforms a section of Hotel Biba (in West Palm Beach, FL) into a site-specific art installation that includes sculpture, video, sound and performance art.

Each year, roughly twenty artists are asked to transform the rooms into a conceptual art environment that is only on view for one or two nights.  Without the use of nails or adhesives, they fill the spaces completely.

The show attracts thousands, and continues to be the only recurring exhibition that showcases emerging contemporary artists from the area.  To date, over 200 artists have participated in this exhibition.

This year, Showtel will run April 8-10th.
