On Tuesday, September 30th, Wythe Hotel hosted a new exhibition in four guest rooms, restarting a long term commitment to show the work of local artists in our Hotel rooms. Friends, family, artists, and neighbors gathered in Williamsburg to celebrate and view 18 newly acquired works curated by our new Art Curator, Alessandra Gómez.

The evening spotlighted four incredible artists: Dylan Rose Rheingold, Emilie Louise Gossiaux, Lucy Kim, and Vyczie Dorado. Each artist's works are presented in dedicated hotel rooms across the property. Guests moved between rooms to experience the art up close, transforming the hotel into a multi-gallery experience for one special night.

The Artists

  • Dylan Rose Rheingold displayed six intimate drawings reflecting on girlhood, memory, and nostalgia in American culture.
  • Vyczie Dorado shared four graphite works on paper that explore desire, with some drawings rendered in realistic detail and others more abstract.
  • Emilie Louise Gossiaux presented a trio of dreamlike works exploring kinship between humans and animals.
  • Lucy Kim showcased striking pieces from her Eumelanin series, including unique Vanilla Plantlet and Jade Grapes prints.

A Special Performance in the North 8th Loft

To mark the occasion, Wythe also welcomed playwright and performer Sleth, who staged excerpts from his upcoming play The Wreck of the Unbelievable.
Performed in the North 8th Loft, Sleth’s piece reimagines the legacy of Damien Hirst through a raw, camp-infused dialogue between a painter and a curator.
Guests crowded in for these limited-capacity performances, each met with energy and applause.

Carrying the Legacy Forward

Since opening in 2012, Wythe Hotel has been more than a hotel — it’s been a space for creativity, culture, and community. From works commissioned by artists like Duke Riley, Andrea Bergart, and Katherine Bradford, to this new exhibition, the art collection is a living reflection of Brooklyn’s ever-evolving creative spirit.

Curator Alessandra Gómez, who also works with Brooklyn Academy of Music, captured this ethos in her remarks:

“Since its inception, Wythe has championed artist communities, and I am proud to carry that leadership forward, providing a platform for local artists. As an interdisciplinary curator, I’m constantly exploring ways to bridge creative communities in New York — this inaugural exhibition brings that vision to life.”

What’s Next

This exhibition marks only the beginning of Wythe’s renewed commitment to art and performance. With Gómez at the helm, expect to see more boundary-pushing programming across the hotel’s many spaces.

Stay tuned for updates on upcoming shows, performances, and artist collaborations. For now, we invite you to explore the works on your next visit — whether you’re staying overnight, dining at Le Crocodile, or joining us for a drink at Bar Blondeau.
