Aloft Birmingham Eastside has hosted its first art exhibition, Essence of Jazz by renowned artist Rachel Akers. The launch saw the sale of the artist’s largest piece, The Four-Piece Band.
While The Four-Piece Band found a new home on the opening night, two smaller pieces, The Individual Instruments, remain available for purchase.
The exhibition will continue to be on display at Aloft Birmingham Eastside until 9 August, offering an extended opportunity for visitors to attend the Essence of Jazz.
Leanne Bladen, director of sales and marketing at The Eastside Rooms and Aloft Birmingham Eastside, said: “Hosting the Essence of Jazz exhibition has been a unique experience for the venue. Rachel’s art has brought a new vibrancy to our spaces, and we are thrilled to have been a part of something so successful.”
Akers said: “I met Leanne from the Aloft and The Eastside Rooms a few years ago at a networking event and although she had never seen my work in person she took a chance on me and offered me this wonderful opportunity for me to have a solo exhibition. I was delighted by the wonderful opening night event and to sell my Four Piece Band on the first night was the most amazing feeling.”
