HONG KONG, Dec. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The first
hotel group to partner with Affordable Art Fair in multiple
destinations, Dorsett Hospitality International took part at the
fairs in Hong Kong (May 2019), Battersea Autumn in London (October
2019) and Singapore
(November 2019).
Inspired by Dorsett Hotels' signature blue bird, a symbol of
travel and discovery, Hong Kong
art duo Stickyline created a large-scale art installation based on
the hotel group's three core brand colours: Dorsett Hotels &
Resorts (blue), d. Collection (orange) and Silka (purple). The
installation featured a collection of 3D birds of various sizes
gathered round a traditional Chinese egg tart, embodying Dorsett's
passion to enrich travel and guest experiences while always
embracing local culture.
"We were delighted to partner with Dorsett Hospitality
International (DHI) in Hong Kong,
Battersea London and Singapore
throughout 2019. DHI's provided a platform to bring exciting
Hong Kong local talent to a
regional and international stage—something that fits extremely well
with our global ethos at Affordable Art Fair, about discovering new
artists," says Affordable Art Fair's Regional Managing Director and
Board Member for Asia Pacific,
Stephanie Kelly.
To coincide with this partnership, Dorsett hotels in each of the
three cities created their own art experience for both hotel guests
and the local community to enjoy. Dorsett Wanchai hosted an art
talk which discussed "How can art thrive in Hong Kong?" moderated by journalist, cultural
critic and founder of the Cultural Journalism Campus, Vivienne Chow.
Dorsett Shepherds Bush in London brought together families from Wormholt
Primary School and the Shepherd's Bush neighbourhood for an
afternoon of bird-folding at the hotel, showing off Dorsett's love
for art, community as well as the therapeutic benefits of art and
creativity for young children.
Lastly, Dorsett Singapore will be displaying part of the final
art installation showcased by Stickyline at Affordable Art Fair
Singapore in November in their lobby throughout the Christmas
period; offering guests and art-lovers alike the opportunity to
celebrate the festive season with a fun and engaging art
experience.
Dorsett Hospitality International's Senior Vice President of
Global Brand Marketing Anita Chan
says, "We are very proud to be supporting Affordable Art Fair as
their Exclusive Hotel partner this year. This global collaboration
highlights our ongoing commitment to connect our guests and
visitors with art and other vibrant experiences across our hotels
internationally."
