The idea of Carte Blanche is to provide a platform for contemporary art now.
Local and International creatives and artists will be given the opportunity to show their works in a virtual gallery online and a gallery space at the Aurora premises.
The aim is to curate the Hotel’s art specifically - we want there to be good stories and a lasting wellbeing for the guests as well as try to make them have a unique and distinctive experience.
The interplay of art design and the Hotel Aurora’s architecture is what characterizes this special place in South Tyrol. The historic hotel in Merano is marked by art treasures and designer pieces that one can find throughout the hotel as well as in every room and this is what makes the Aurora so outstanding.
Carte Blanche will host about 3 art exhibitions per year and is keen on giving artists the opportunity to also create site specific works for the hotel that will be shown permanently.
The shown art works as well as art editions of works on display will be available at the Hotels Aurora’s own art corner.
