In the heart of downtown Kitchener, an historic hotel sits, recently adorned with art. But not just any art and not just any hotel.

The Walper Hotel will play host to CAFKA’s (Contemporary Art Forum Kitchener and Area) new spring biennial exhibition on May 2. Peppered throughout the hotel, you’ll find sculptures, photography, animation, mixed media and sound installations bringing the hotel to life in unusual ways.CAFKA logo

Hit downtown K-town this Thursday, explore the hotel and engage with some interesting art projects. Will there be bees? Paper-clip covered bicycles? Musical handrails? Colourful optical illusions? You’ll only find out of you visit the hotel. But if you can’t make it on Thursday, you can take in the exhibition until August 11.

Get downtown and see, feel, touch and make some art.
