Local artists for joy and colors

Mar 24, 2025 | sustainable hotels

Have you walked past your entrance hall and noticed that there are still several empty spots on the wall? Thought that it becomes boring to watch the same picture in the lobby every day at work? Then we have an amazing idea for you today: a way you can bring color and joy into your accommodation while at the same time supporting local artists. Organize rotating exhibitions at your accommodation benefits everybody involved:

  • Your guests can take advantage of combining their overnight-stays with an art-exhibition exploration 
  • The local artists you are working with get a chance to display their pieces and find potential buyers 
  • You can use the network of artists, which is a great way for you to generate additional interest from potential guests to stay at your accommodation
  • Your staff gets the chance to see the spaces changing and do not risk to get bored by the same pictures for the whole year 
  • By organizing an opening-reception or closing ceremony, you can add memorable highlights to the stay of your guests
  • Art exhibitions attract the attention of journalists and are often featured in different newspapers, on websites, blogs and on social media driving additional attention to your accommodation.

Before you start, here are some hints you may want to keep in mind:

  • Respect the artist and make sure that their artworks are protected 
  • Choose a local artist to embrace local growth and support the community your accommodation is located in
  • Inform your guests about what they see. Educating and engaging in discussions is a brilliant way to make art interactive
  • Train your employees, so that everybody knows at least the rough details about the cooperation and can communicate transparently to guests whenever they have questions
  • If there is an art school nearby, it is also a great chance for you to invest in the development of big talents and help them kick-off their careers
