Spring Break Art Show Takes Over Former CBS News Offices with 'Hide 'n Seek' Theme
The Spring Break Art Show has made its return to New York, taking place at the previous CBS News headquarters located at 555 West 57th Street in Hell's Kitchen. This year's theme, 'Hide 'n Seek,' presents a complex layout featuring concealed spaces for displaying art. Co-founder Andrew Gori remarked on September 24 that the CBS venue aligns more closely with the theme compared to TriBeCa. Additionally, Slow Factory's independent media initiative, Everything Is Political, has established The People's Newsroom in a former CBS studio, allowing visitors to share news. Among the exhibits is Luke Ivy Price's 'Miss Wilma Cleans the Dryers' (2026), curated by Ryan Bock, which highlights undervalued labor. The event continues Spring Break's commitment to intertwining art with political discourse.
