Exhibit: Gladstone Hotel Gets A Makeover, Again!

Gladstone Hotel's CUTMR 2015 Art &Design Event Review

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting Gladstone Hotel's annual alternative design event Come Up To My Room 2015 (CUTMR 2015), which runs in conjunction with the Toronto Design Offsite Festival (TODO) and the Interior Design Show (IDS).

New this year, CUTMR 2015 has extended its run to ten days with special events and exhibition hours throughout the duration. The event has also taken over all four floors of the hotel, including stairways and The Melody Bar, showcasing some of the city's most innovative contemporary art and design talents.

The Gladstone Hotel is one of my favourite places in Toronto, and CUTMR is one of the reasons. I loved CUTMR 2014 and this year's event has surpassed my expectations. From the thought provoking to the tantalizing, CUTMR 2015 has it all. A definite must see!
