Erastus Radjimin, CEO ARTOTEL Group said, ‘’Through #ARTOTELforHOPE We want to encourage all the guests to express their wishes, goals, and hopes for the upcoming year and also can contribute back to the community. This year we take mental disabilities as our main concern, handing out all the possible supports that we can give through #ARTOTELforHOPE and still in touch with the creativity side. Never to think them as an outcast, here we give them opportunity to create some artworks. These Art Workshops that we have been conducting so far is the right platform for them to express their emotions, indeed Art helps according to the psychologists. From the Art workshops, the artworks will be exhibited in every ARTSPACE of ARTOTEL. We can contribute something to them by staying at ARTOTEL throughout December as well as purchasing an artwork or a series postcard with artworks printed on the back.‘’
