Hotel Arena is a place where people find, inspire and enrich each other, through our love of art, culture, music, design and photography. This is part of Hotel Arena and we are happy to share it with you.

Eye On The City
In a series of photography, Hotel Arena presents the work of young talented New York City Salt artists Malike Sidibe and Daniel Martinez.

NYC Salt is a non-profit program in New York City. Their mission is to engage, inspire, and empower youth from underserved, predominantly immigrant communities in New York City to reach their full potential and develop a sense of agency, belonging, and integrated identity through the lens of a camera.
Hotel Arena will be presenting two artists with a collection of portraiture , a documentary project of the first couple dates of The Black Lives Matter Protests in NYC from 2020, published in the Time magazine and the New York Times magazine. In addition, you can also see a story about the community of a local basketball court in the South Bronx. The photographs offer a view of fashion, conflict and the community in New York City.
Until March 28th 2023, no entrance fee
