Fairmont The Norfolk to host 'African Inspiration' art exhibition week
The week-long exhibition aims to provide a platform for different art exhibitors to display their works and content.
Axel Hauser, General Manager, Fairmont The Norfolk commented: “The importance of art in preserving the culture of a society cannot be overlooked. That’s why we are hosting this event; to showcase different works of art that communicate diverse aspects of our life and society.
The event is an opportunity not only for Kenyan artists to showcase their works of art, but also to treat our guests to local heritage, offering a home away from home. Fairmont as a brand has a historical connected to the art scene across the globe and we are proud to contribute to the growth of our local arts”.
The exhibition will showcase African tribal art ranging from paintings, to carvings and artefacts, which will be on display at the Cin Cin lounge. The art will perfectly offset the bar’s blend of early 1900s British design with modern art influences.
