Fairmont El San Juan Hotel Launches Cultural Canvas, An Art Series of Puerto Rican Expressions
Fairmont El San Juan Hotel has been transformed into a legendary art gallery to launch ‘Cultural Canvas,’ an art series of Puerto Rican expressions, in celebration of the first event of this series which took place in May. The hotel is reimagining an Art Gallery Experience while reaffirming its commitment as a sponsor of the arts in its continued support of Puerto Rican talent.
Previously, galleries and museums served as the primary space for artists to show their work, but more hotels are now working to support up-and-coming talent. Displaying the work of artists creates a sense of place and helps guests connect with the hotel on a deeper level.
In Cultural Canvas, which will take place every two months, The Lobby will be decorated with the works of outstanding Puerto Rican artists like Sofía Maldonado Suárez Juan Carlos Amador and Quintín Rivera Toro, along with muralists Bik Ismo, Rafique and David Zayas.
During the events, the artists' works will be on display, then moved and highlighted in the meeting spaces for a period of two months, offering guests and visitors the opportunity to appreciate and enjoy these artistic expressions during an extended stay.
At Fairmont El San Juan Hotel we recognize the importance of supporting local art, which is an integral part of our identity. Since the hotel's beginnings in 1958, we have been a strong supporter of various artistic endeavors, such as music and fashion. It is a great privilege for us to inaugurate this series of cultural events, presenting the talent of these outstanding Puerto Rican artists.
We are committed to continue being a place where art is promoted and celebrated, said José Padín, General Manager of the hotel. Fairmont el San Juan Hotel has redefined hospitality for decades, breaking the norms of traditional luxury and the launch of the Cultural Canvas is no different. The pieces will be available in a virtual gallery accessible by QR code where you can learn more about them and have the opportunity to purchase them.
The iconic The Lobby celebrates these events in style with entertainment, DJ and live band, as well as cocktails by expert mixologists. The next event will take place August 8th and feature Puerto Rican artist with art inspired in Puerto Rico. The hotel which was recently recognized as the best hotel in Puerto Rico by Travel and Leisure is just a short flight away and filled with events and culture to be experienced.
