ArtPad SF, San Francisco
When you go on vacation to relax, running around a city trying to catch all the latest art exhibitions can be counterproductive. But what if all those events were brought to your hotel? Well, lazy traveler, you're in luck. Starting tomorrow, the new ArtPad SF art festival is checking in to San Francisco's Phoenix Hotel until May 22.
You can watch performance pieces as you sit by the pool, and see the work of emerging and established artists from some of the Bay Area's top galleries, including the White Walls Gallery, which is showing Shepard Fairey's work. And those suckers who decided to pursue a culture fix all over town will end up at your hotel for video art screenings, live bands, and DJs. 'Cause after the art party, there's the after-party.

What a great idea--this sounds like a fun and relaxing way to have a vacation and get to see new art at the same time. It will be interesting to see if this takes off in other cities.

What a great idea! I think everybody knows the situation when you are visitig a new destination, would you like to go to a museum or would you like to relax in the hotel. With this possibility you can have both. Pretty awesome!!!
