Did Graduate Hotels' art program help make them a $200 million hotel brand? We'd like to think it played a part! With news of Hilton's recent acquisition of AJ Capital Partners, we're throwing back to our partnership with them in Knoxville, TN. Here's a bit about how the curators developed the art program, and some behind-the-scenes of the large-scale production. Like all properties in the Graduate Hotels portfolio, Graduate Knoxville is located just blocks away from a university – The University of Tennessee. The property itself is an expression of the community and traditions, and nowhere is that more evident than in the headboard illustrations by 1991 alumnus, Marshall Ramsey. The nostalgia of Game Day and beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains are evident in his illustrations, and also found in the pressed flowers and the vintage photograph of UT Alum, Peyton Manning, hiking with his former UT football coach, Phillip Fulmer. #hospitalitydesign #craftingmasterpieces #vintagevibes
