During the week, African Artworks ranging from paintings, carvings and artifacts will be on display at the Cin Cin Lounge and will also be available for purchase before the exhibition comes to an end on 4th August.
The event aims to provide a platform for different art exhibitors to display their works and content.
Axel Hauser, General Manager, Fairmont The Norfolk says “The importance of art in preserving the culture of a society cannot be overlooked. That’s why we are hosting this event to showcase different works of art that communicate diverse aspects of our life and society. The event is an opportunity not only for our artists to showcase their works of art, but also to treat our guests to the local heritage as they experience a home away from home feel.”
The exhibition will showcase African tribal art ranging from paintings to carvings and artifacts, which will be on display at the Cin Cin lounge. The art will perfectly offset the bar’s blend of early 1900s British design with modern art influences.
Fairmont the Norfolk opened its doors in 1904. The secluded gem in the heart of Nairobi has remained a celebrated Kenyan landmark and boasts of 27 luxurious suites and 143 rooms set around tranquil tropical gardens, a modern health club, and unique dining facilities.
