Famous artists' works make visit to Ashtabula County

ASHTABULA — Art from three of the most well-known artists in the world made a trip to Riverbend Hotel Saturday evening.

A small group of area residents were treated to a curated show of artwork by Salvador Dali, Rembrandt van Rijn and Mark Chagall.

The event was an invitation-only curated arts exhibition coordinated by Todd Canter, co-owner of Riverbend Hotel and president of Vulcan Real Estate Development.

“This wasn’t about displaying art, it was about creating a conversation,” he said. “When you bring works like these together, the begin to tell a much larger story about the forces that shape society. What’s remarkable is that these artists, across centuries, are still speaking into the questions we wrestle with today.”

Exploring the Unique Design Philosophy behind Riverbend Hotel and Suites

Coined by Ian Schrager, the visionary behind Studio 54 and the Morgans Hotel in New York City, the term "boutique hotel" connotes a smaller, more stylish accommodation, usually situated in trendy urban locales. It stands as a counterpoint to the sprawling, uniform structures of chain hotels like Hilton and Marriott, offering instead an intimate, chic, and imaginative experience akin to boutique shopping.
