Summary

Celebrate weeklong events highlighting signature Art Ovation “Mark”! Join us all week!

Description

Did you know that Art Ovation Hotel, as a Marriott Autograph Collection, has a signature “Mark”? The unique Art-themed Hotel brings the opportunity to express oneself creatively in each guest room with a leather-bound sketchbook and drawing supplies. In Collaboration with Ringling College of Art & Design, our community focus brings art students in to design art as inspiration on the first page of each book. While most hotel rooms prefer that guests not leave behind anything, Art Ovation encourages guests to leave behind a “Mark” in the book.

During the week, sketchbooks will be exhibited in the Artist’s Studio and to add more, a collection of artful Maker’s Mark bottles designed by the community at Ringling College of Art and Design will be included.

Join this engaging week of experiences to celebrate the unique “Mark” of Art Ovation Hotel. We’ll party, draw, enjoy cuisine, whiskey, mix it up and get ready to make your Mark!
