The “Spotlight LA” exhibition schedule fittingly pays homage to the hotel’s history and deep connection with the city as The Beverly Hills Hotel opened in 1912, two years before the City of Beverly Hills was even incorporated. The first of the three exhibitions entitled ‘Where Memory Forgets’ will present works by Los Angeles-based artist Virginia Broersma, whose art focuses on the concept of leisure with a nod to Southern California.
Dates: February 21 to June 22, 2025.

Dates: June 27 to November 2, 2025.

At Hotel Bel-Air, the exhibition schedule ‘Spatial Elegance – Timeless Horizons’ centers around a refined discovery of excellence, presenting sculptures in the peaceful surroundings of the hotel’s lush grounds and scenic gardens. Drawing inspiration from the tranquil environs, the interplay of light, and the expansive Californian sky, the presentations will create an immersive and meditative experience.

Exhibition one, entitled ‘Spectral Radiance’, will showcase seven sculptures by artist Shana Mabari, each of which features mirrored, spectral-colored cylinders.

The second exhibition will present works by Michael Wilding, whose abstract sculptures explore the interplay between form and space and feature materials such as marble and bronze to showcase a harmonious blend of natural elements and artistic expression.
Dates: June 20 to November 9, 2025

Hotel Bel-Air’s final exhibition for 2025 will feature sculptures by South-African born artist Jill Berelowitz.

Known for her bronze, steel and optical resin works, Berelowitz has become one of London’s most innovative sculptors.
