PALM BEACH, ARUBA (NOVEMBER 19, 2009) – On November 18 and 19 renowned local artist Elisa Lejuez signed lithographs of her artworks in Marriott’s upscale hotel within a hotel, Tradewinds Club. Lejuez’s art is a complimentary gift exclusively for Tradewinds Club guests. Two additional artworks in a unique series of three lithographs, can be obtained for free when taking a preview tour of Marriott Aruba’s Surf Club villa and purchasing a villa. The local art gifts are donated by the Mariott Vacation Club Sales team.
"We wanted to do something different for a unique group of guests staying on Tradewinds Club. It is a luxury hotel within the hotel and guests of Tradewinds Club have access to upscale amenities and privileges. We thought a lithograph of Elisa Lejuez would be a matching gift for Tradewinds guests. And we are promoting and supporting local art at the same time" says Bettina Gonzalez, Project Director of the Marriott Vacation Club (MVCI) Sales Team of the unique cooperation with the succesful artist.
To launch the ‘free art gift’ campaign of MVCI Gonzalez invited local artist Lejuez to be present in the Tradewinds Club and hand out the artworks herself. As an added value, Lejuez signed her lithographs in the Tradewinds Lounge.

"I was pleasantly surprised that the MVCI selected my artwork as the free give away for Tradewinds guests. The three lithographs they selected are based on a collection of paintings that I created especially for Marriott. I truly hope these special Marriott guests will appreciate my art. It is a unique souvenir from a Aruba to take home for sure”, states Lejuez.
