Hotel Figueroa's art collection honors the building's feminist origins — Studio Collective worked with women artists in Southern California to create a program that feels integral to the space, not applied after the fact. The Bungalow's walls feel like they were assembled by someone who's been collecting for decades. Neither looks like a hotel.

The Art Wall is a 44-page guide to curating, arranging, and installing art in your home — not as decoration, but as biography. It covers:

  • The Find — where Studio Collective sources art — galleries, yes, but also student shows, estate sales, online platforms, direct from artists, vintage shops — and how to approach each
  • The Mix — how to combine high and low, original and reproduction, purchased and personal, framed and unframed, hung and leaned — so the wall reads as a collection, not a set
  • The Layout — five proven arrangement templates that work for different wall sizes and art quantities — plus a method for testing your layout on the floor before putting holes in the wall
  • The Frame — why the frame matters as much as the art — and when to spend on framing vs. when a $20 frame is exactly right
  • The Hang — exact hanging heights, hardware types for different wall materials, spacing formulas, and the one mistake everyone makes with art placement

Includes: printable layout templates, a sourcing directory, and a framing guide by artwork type. No art degree required. Just walls and the willingness to put things on them that mean something.
