Dream Hotels, in partnership with prominent Brooklyn-based artist Mark Anthony Green, announces a series of exclusive events at Dream South Beach in Miami.
The events will feature never-before-seen artwork and celebrations taking place in tandem with Art Basel, North America’s foremost modern and contemporary art fair. The activations continue Dream Hotels’ ongoing commitment to partnering with top tastemakers and brands during Art Basel, such as Stevie Nicks, Danny Clinch, The Hole Gallery, and Playboy.
“My favorite thing about Basel is that it’s at the end of the year. It feels like a final exam, the championship, the year’s finale,” states Mark Anthony Green. “This exhibition, this summary, is what 2015 meant to me in both a macro and micro sense. Technology. Social uprising. Wins and losses. Heartbreak and promotion. I’m still trying to figure out if 2015 was a good year. Maybe by Basel I’ll know.”
“Art Basel is one of the most exciting times in Miami and for Dream South Beach,” says Rohit Anand, Director of Brand Activation & Partnerships at Dream Hotels. “In our fourth year of operation we feel it’s a great opportunity to showcase our commitment to culture from both emerging to well-established artists. We have worked with Mark Anthony to put together a program which will be both provocative and intriguing for the art community.”
Powered by JBL Audio and Heineken, Dream South Beach and Mark Anthony Green have curated a rooftop pop-up shop with limited-edition prints, clothing and art objects. In addition to access to the parties and events taking place during the week, each hotel guest will receive a complimentary print from Green (limit one per room).
The Art Basel events at Dream South Beach begin on Tuesday, December 1, with the unveiling of Mark Anthony Green’s latest art exhibit, and run through Sunday, December 6.
