Sanctuary143 in collaboration with Community presents CONSPIRE: artists and musicians collaborating in the rooms of a 1920’s apartment building that once was a hotel.
S143 will take over rooms at the newly opening Community at The Martin Building + Flats in Bankers Hill for “CONSPIRE”. Each room will host a featured artist and musician who will collaborate and co-inspire each other with a music installation created in response to paintings, sculpture, and other artistic creations. CONSPIRE pays homage to the different channels of creativity, showing how one person’s inspiration is communicated through color and texture while another’s emerges through sound and rhythm. CONSPIRE is flashlights, thread, Walkmans, New York subways, Blue Note, and baby Jesuses.
Artists and musicians include ACAMONCHI, JOSH HIGGINS, MIKE MAXWELL and JOSH + JEREMIAH ZIMMERMAN of THE SILENT COMEDY, JOSH SHELTON and SEAN KELLEY, JOEL P WEST and WES BRUCE, SANDEE MANUEL and KEIKICHI HONNA, JEFF FAETH and SEAN CHRISTOPHER, & TOCAYO and WILL REDD.

Meaningful merchandise from indie retailers including Velo Cult, Subtext, Micreation, and Hi Octane Jewelry will be on display so bring your coin purse.
Appetizers will include tasty meatballs from North Park’s farm-to-table eatery The Linkery and soup shooters from the culinary masters of The Pearl Hotel in Point Loma. (Check ‘em out.) Our neighborhood Hillcrest Whole Foods Market has also kindly connected us with Valley Center’s Stehly Farms organic avocados for guacamole and family owned Tacupeto of North County for chips and salsa. Appetizers will be served from 6-8 pm so arrive early to partake!
This is an indoor/outdoor event so bundle up!
Created by the team behind The Pearl Hotel, Community merges historic architecture, modern design, and artist installations to create an engaging urban environment that allows residents’ common interests to emerge and thrive. Groove247.com music plays in common areas and the residents enjoy a community garden and bikes and bags to borrow as they cruise around the park and ‘hood.
Stay tuned for further details and watch the conspiracy unfold at s143’s ongoing documentary of the work in progress and check out the sneak peek at Flickr.
All ages are welcome.
Parking will be very limited so we recommend coming early…or, why not bike or carpool?
