Culture is integral to any great city, and Nuvo Hotel Suites wants to give something back to traveling creators whose presence contributes to a more interesting Calgary!  Beginning in October 2009, Nuvo Hotel Suites and Calgary Arts Development will partner to offer visiting artists and creators the opportunity to be awarded a free stay in a suite at Nuvo, located in the heart of the Beltline and in proximity to many of the city’s arts venues.

Nuvo Hotel Suites strongly believes in the need for artistic diversity in Calgary, and the city’s 160+ arts organizations and dozens of annual festivals give creative visitors reason to seek out the city.  Nuvo’s Director of Marketing, Sarah Webb says, “The design of the suites at Nuvo is unique to the Calgary hotel scene, and is ideal for visiting artists. With a modern, clean design and complete kitchens in the hotel suites, those in town for a creative purpose can feel at home.”

One visiting creative will be awarded a free stay each month, chosen from proposals submitted to Nuvo Hotel Suites.  In addition to complimentary accommodations at Nuvo, visiting creatives will benefit from being profiled on the Nuvo Hotel Suites blog as well as on CalgaryCulture.com, a newly launched website from Calgary Arts Development that serves as a central hub for information about the city’s arts and culture scene.

The ultimate goal is to continue building Calgary’s reputation as an innovative, diverse and vibrant city.  Individuals in all creative fields are encouraged to submit applications. Further information is available at www.nuvohotelsuites.com and www.calgaryculture.com.
