Barry the Elf returns with a celebration of the many places and spaces we’ve had the joy of creating art programs for. From San Antonio to Long Beach and everywhere in between, Barry has traveled across the country to hide among some of our favorite pieces we’ve been lucky to curate. As tradition goes, he’s written a little poem for each, celebrating the places we’ve been and the incredible clients who make it all possible.
First stop, San Antonio.

In San Antonio’s heart, where old meets new,
Kimpton Santo’s art sparks wonder with every view.
From heirloom corn to stories waiting to be told,
My travels begin in this hotel where curiosity unfolds.
Adventures Ahead, Barry the Elf
Next up is Long Beach.

In Long Beach’s soft light where the ocean soothes,
Fairmont Breakers’ art creates an elevated mood.
From serene palettes to pieces that breathe like the sea,
This California escape sets the perfect tone for me.
Adventures Ahead, Barry the Elf
Finally, the coast of Mississippi.

In Biloxi’s southern coast where the shoreline glows,
Beau Rivage is so much warmer than the North Pole knows.
With endless art to discover thanks to KBAA,
Don’t tell Santa… but I just might stay.
Adventures Ahead, Barry the Elf
