Seattle artists Jaq Chartier and Dirk Park, the masterminds behind Aqua Art Miami, have booked the hotel on Ocean Avenue, the scene of their early success, and dispensed with the warehouse in Wynwood that never really caught on.
Chartier:
It’s what all the galleries seemed to prefer after many conversations, and the energy is already way better than it’s been for a long time.
