As a kid, you would be scolded for drawing on the walls, but Art Series Hotels want you to embrace your inner child and leave your mark on the walls of three of its properties.
From now until the end of the year, a white-washed room at The Blackman, The Johnson, and The Olsen hotels will be transformed into a collective canvas.
The initiative, called Colour Your Stay, will rely on guests to help create an ever-changing mural. FUN! HAND US THE SPRAY CAN!
Pioneer of the Australian street art and stencil movement, Luke Cornish (aka ELK) will lead the project for Art Series.
In a nod to each of the hotel’s namesake artist, he will create a different artwork at each hotel; a portrait of John Olsen, Charles Blackman and Michael Johnson, that guests are called on to complete.
Upon check in hotel staff will share instructions and guests can register to participate.
A mixture of spray cans and paint brushes, a gown, mask and gloves will be available for guests to use in the room, with each person given two minutes to unleash the artist within.
“This exciting campaign celebrates the growing art movement that directly engages the audience in the creative process and explores all manners of self-expression.”
Art Serie’s Hotel’s Director of Marketing Ryan Tuckerman
Guests who share a photo on Instagram with the tag #colouryourstay will go in the draw to win a night on Art Series plus a signed ELK drawing.
