Stockholm Hotel Welcoming Guests to Stay For Free in Exchange for Artwork

Sounds like an ingenius plan to redecorate ©iambents

Aspiring artists can sleep for free at the Clarion Hotel in Stockholm–all they have to do is bring a piece of art in exchange for a room.

The new promotion was inspired by New York City’s Chelsea Hotel, where artists and muscians could trade in a work of art for a room. The Clarion recently launched the promotion and allows guests to stay for free up to two nights a year. Any piece will do, even poems and simple doodles, although the Clarion will store the art and own full rights to each piece.
