ITC Hotels in the city are paying tribute to Bengal’s cultural heritage with Art of Celebration this festive season. While ITC Sonar installs a Shola Christmas Tree, a unique amalgamation of traditional hand-crafted shola in a contemporary design, celebrating the age-old sholapith craft, ITC Royal Bengal embraces the 19th-century Dutch-Bengal style of patachitra art with a hand-painted tree by local artist Soumyadeep Roy.
Both the installations are part of ITC Hotels’ WelcomArt initiative that celebrates indigenous art, providing a platform to local artists. The artistic trees will be on display at the star hotels during Christmas and New Year.
