Last year, The Clarendon Hotel was transformed into a temporary art installation, thanks to the debut of Artel Phx, a project that brings together the creativity of local artists with the hospitality of local business.
As Artel Phx preps for a spring exhibition, event organizers are looking for new artists to display and perform works at the boutique hotel.

Artel Phx has put out a call to artists for its upcoming show, which runs Thursday, May 15, through Saturday, May 17. The pop-up art exhibition is looking for more than 20 artists to place site-specific installations throughout the hotel, including its exterior, lobby, pool, roof, and guest rooms.
