Fairmont El San Juan Hotel became the cultural epicenter of the island with the successful celebration of the second edition of Cultural Canvas: An Art Series of Puerto Rican Expressions. The event, which attracted a diverse art-loving audience, presented a vibrant showcase of Puerto Rican expressions through diverse disciplines such as painting, sculpture, photography and documentary.


The hotel’s historic lobby was transformed into a living gallery, where attendees enjoyed the works of renowned local artists such as Claudia Carbonell, Rocío Delgado San Miguel, Jaime Rodríguez Crespo, Javi Vecino Cintrón, Anthony Edwin, Don Rimx, and Kroniko Arte. Inspired by the rich Puerto Rican culture, the pieces were accompanied by live music and a carefully chosen selection of cocktails.


José Padín, general manager at Fairmont El San Juan Hotel, expressed his pride in the hotel’s continued support of the arts: “Since our founding, we have been a beacon for artistic expression in Puerto Rico. Cultural Canvas is an extension of that legacy, and we are committed to continuing to provide a space where local art can flourish and be appreciated.”


Attendees also had the opportunity to purchase the works on display through a virtual gallery accessible by QR code, integrating technology with art in a unique experience.
