Furthering its artistic endeavor, the hotel launched a museum-caliber art collection worth more than $1 million, called the ‘Art of Reinvention’. The collection is comprised of a compilation of more than sixteen one-of-a-kind urban pieces that includes abstract sculptures, photography on aluminum, 3D hand-formed porcelain, and stained glass.
Curated by Soho Myriad Art Consulting Services, some of the art found throughout the hotel includes works by renowned artists, such as Martin Dawe, Nancy Lorenz, Nancy Reynolds, David Jordan Williams, Bill Sosin, and Michael Curry to name of few.
The Art of Reinvention has something for everyone, art lover or not, and reflects the downtown hotel’s energy and uniqueness – a fusion of sophistication, design, fashion and technology in an urban environment within the new artful Miami.
