Ace Hotel

The Fifty and Fifty State Mottos Project, a project curated by Dan Cassaro that asked artists to re-imagine their home state motto — is on display in our gallery space. Fifty designers, one per state, have illustrated their state motto, creating something steeped in history yet modern and unique — a kind of designer's atlas.

The opening reception for Fifty and Fifty is Tuesday, December 18, in our the gallery space from 7-10pm.
