For a lifetime, Steve Wilson has been breaking rules and pushing the envelope. His father once said, “art is useless.” Since then Steve has sought to prove him wrong. Most publicly by opening provocative ‘Alice in Wonderland-like’ museum hotels across America’s heartland. Using art to drive commerce and create conversation, Steve created the “art hotel,” and named it 21c, representing the art of today... the 21st Century.

Steve is rambunctious, sharp-tongued, provocative, openly-honest, and probing. He’s willing to make people a little uneasy in order to make them think from a new perspective. He often eschews political correctness to confront and challenge. Highly respected for his outlandish taste and a keen eye for discovering new artists and shows no signs of slowing down.
