Christina Zeidler, has been the developer and President of the historic GLADSTONE HOTEL in Toronto since 2003, focusing on the renovation and revitalization of the building through a community based approach. She is the creator of the “Artist Designed Room Project” using local artist/designers to implement individually designed hotel rooms, even creating a room herself entitled “snapshot”. With 37 unique artist designed hotel rooms, a multi-use second floor, a restaurant and two bars, The Gladstone Hotel is more than just a hotel, it is a local hub for the arts which fosters the local community while providing instant access to the arts scene for those traveling to Toronto. The landmark building hosts everything from cabaret performances to film screenings, art exhibitions to wedding parties. The Gladstone is home for a vast range of artists, community groups, businesses and individuals. Trained at the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) Christina is a film and video artist with over thirty titles in distribution, which have shown internationally at festivals and appeared on television. In her spare time Christina is one half of the euro-electronica-pop-diva sensation “ina unt ina” and engages in as much community activism as possible.
