Jumeirah Creekside boosts hotel art credentials

Jumeirah Creekside Hotel in Dubai has begun a three-month collaboration with Jim Wheat’s Dollarsandart, building on its strong association with art.

The hotel is already home to 482 works of art by 51 contemporary artists from the Middle East and is now hosting Wheat’s ‘Reflective collective exhibition’ until October 31.

Jumeirah Creekside Hotel general manager Charles E M Clark said: “Given the fact that Jumeirah Creekside Hotel is already a home to a fine array of art, this latest collaboration with Jim Wheat and his Reflective Collective exhibition only heightens the arts & culture aspect of our hotel.

“It is fantastic that this mutual collaboration will help elevate the positioning of Dubai as advocates of contemporary arts."

A total of 14 original works will be showcased from the 28-strong Money (2013) and Intergalactic$ (2014) collections.

There will be a celebration of the collection with the business community throughout the Jumeirah Creekside Hotel in a ‘Reflective Collective Open Day’ on October 8 in association with Club fit for Business.
