SELECT | CATALINA HOTEL 2012-13

The first and second edition of Select Fair took place during Art Basel Miami at the Catalina Hotel. We used the 60 hotel rooms on the 2 story Art Deco hotel as the exhibition spaces. 

We sold the exhibition spaces to independent artists and smaller galleries. 

We took over the Catalina hotel in 2012 after we interned for the George Billis Gallery and directed the defunct Art Now fair in 2011 at the same venue.
