Artist in Residence

Our Artist in Residence Program, curated in partnership with collectives and institutions that inspire us, provides time to think and space to create. Throughout the year, we invite artists across the globe to turn one of our hotel rooms into their studio for a month, then showcase the resulting body of work with the Ace community.

FWB is a new cultural institution growing the adoption of emerging technology in pursuit of a better internet. Superchief is an international gallery exploring untapped possibilities for the NFT as an artist’s tool. Their curation shines a light on three artists who capture the surreal psychedelia of LA’s desert milieu, and one more to be selected via open call and voted on by the FWB community.
