MvVO ART recently announced an open call for artists running from May 1st through June 27th, 2026, in partnership with both the hotel and the [Guerlain Wellness Spa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guerlain-wellness). The show in September is expected to place contemporary artists directly inside a [landmark hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-hotel-residencies) that has just completed a full transformation led by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill with interiors by Pierre-Yves Rochon. The artwork will be encountered by hotel guests, spa visitors, dining patrons, and passersby. The partnership with Guerlain, realized through the brand's 22,000-square-foot wellness spa at the Waldorf — the largest Guerlain spa worldwide and the only US location featuring the LongeviSkin device, extends the artistic presence into a luxury wellness environment.
