What a week it was for the W Hotels in New York City. For each of three nights in a row, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, there was an opening of another art exhibit or artist in residence installation. I had the honor of attending all three nights – I enjoyed seeing the art and interacting with the artists as well as the many others responsible for  orchestrating these events.

Wednesday – W New York — Union Square – CLOSER – an aerial photo exhibit by Dinesh Boaz

The Closer exhibit by visiting artist Dinesh Boaz includes a series of aerial photos (boldly taken from doorless helicopters) capturing the calm of even the most hectic places. The opening reception was well attended – the art was fascinating – I looked into each aerial photo and wanted to know the story of each person in the photo.

Dates: November 8, 2017 – February 1, 2018

THURSDAY –  W New York – Times Square – Suite Dreams Private Art Suites featuring digital collage art by Maxwell Burnstein

Two Suite Dreams Art Suites at the W New York Times Square have been transformed into a gallery of sparkling fashion-inspired works by digital collage artist Maxwell Burnstein. The cutting-edge artwork is handmade using traditional analog technologies. I attended the  reception in these fabulous suites – I enjoyed seeing the suites, meeting the artist and viewing his collages.

Dates:  November 9, 2017 – March 31, 2018

To celebrate 25 years of experiential photography, the four W Hotels of New York are celebrating a new partnership with the analog photography organization, Lomography. A 150-foot LomoWall of thousands of photographs debuted in the hotel lobby. I was mesmerized by the photographs and the Lomo wall and loved learning about Lomography.
Plus, the four W Hotels in New York are offering special photography packages through December, where guests will receive a free Lomography camera. (“Your free Lomography camera awaits to make your NYC stay even more memorable. Go ahead – tap into your creative side”).
Dates: November 10, 2017 – ?
