Artists deck out old Jade apartments

About 60 artists have turned the old Jade Apartments into a temporary Art Hotel in downtown Sacramento at Seventh and L streets.

The exhibits opened free to the public on Friday and run through Feb. 13.

Despite the building probably being torn down this year as part of the city’s development plans for the new arena, painters, sculptors, historians, muralists, graffiti artists and sound-makers created a laboratory of artful experiences.

A full schedule of openings and special performances is on Art Hotel’s Facebook page; search “ART HOTEL 916.”
