FOUND:RE Contemporary at FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel Announces New Exhibition

FOUND:RE Contemporary the freestanding gallery on Portland Street adjacent to the FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel at 1100 N. Central Ave. is pleased to announce the opening of its latest exhibition. Titled “Sleeping with the Artists” the exhibition features the dynamic and visually stimulating work of 48 Arizona artists and captures the beauty and talent of the local arts community.

The exhibition is aptly titled because the pieces are on display within the hotel rooms of the FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel. “Sleeping with the Artists” debuts with a public reception on Tuesday June 14 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. during which time artists and art enthusiasts can view the new art being displayed on each of the hotel’s eight floors.

“It is always a pleasure for us to be able to work with local artists and to showcase their works in new and different ways” says Audrey Galat arts and culture curator for FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel and FOUND:RE Contemporary. “With so much artistic talent in our state alone we are proud to continue to offer local artists a platform for their masterpieces.”
