From the press release:
The SpringHill Suites by Marriott Asheville and the Courtyard by Marriott Asheville will host Art Escape!, Thursday, May 17, from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. The evening of creativity and inspiration will showcase original artwork by local artists, and all proceeds will benefit Mission Children’s Hospital.
This free event is part of a SpringHill Suites national initiative called ArtNight, designed to give local artists visibility, while exposing hotel guests to the area art scene. ArtNight was launched in 2010 and will be celebrated during the month of May at SpringHill Suites properties around the country.
Local artists are encouraged to donate a piece of artwork to the event for a silent auction that will be held at the hotel. All proceeds from the silent auction will go to Mission Children’s Hospital.
Art Escape! is open to the public. Complimentary appetizers from Carrabba’s will be available, as well as free appetizers and a cash bar at the neighboring Courtyard by Marriott’s Bistro.
The Courtyard and SpringHill Suites are located adjacent to each other at One and Two Buckstone Place, just off of Tunnel Road, near the Asheville Mall. The Asheville hotels are managed by McKibbon Hotel Management, Inc. of Tampa, Florida.
