Art Week 2024 at Pullman Maldives Maamutaa was a remarkable event that brought together the vibrant forces of creativity and community. The event, which was organized in collaboration with Clay Studio Maldives, highlighted the resort's commitment to offering immersive and enriching experiences for both guests and Heartists (the resort’s team members). A dynamic month-long studio residency led up to this, culminating in a series of engaging workshops and interactive sessions that allowed participants to explore their artistic talents.

The Clay Studio, nestled in the tranquil and lush Migili Room, became a sanctuary for artistic expression. Surrounded by the island’s lush tropical environment, it served as the creative heart of the island, where visitors could enjoy hands-on activities such as hand-building, wheel-throwing, and ornament painting.

Throughout the event, guests and Heartists were invited to immerse themselves in the world of clay, crafting unique pieces while forming memories to treasure. The studio’s warm, inclusive atmosphere provided a welcoming environment for participants of all skill levels, guided by expert instructors from Clay Studio Maldives.

Riaan Drever, General Manager of Pullman Maldives Maamutaa, reflected on the success of the collaboration, describing Art Week 2024 as an exceptional experience. He emphasized how the partnership with Clay Studio Maldives offered an ideal fusion of creativity, relaxation, and personal expression. Drever noted how fulfilling it was to see both guests and Heartists connect through art, with many taking home not only souvenirs but also meaningful and personal memories.

Ahmed Muaz, Co-Founder of Clay Studio Maldives, also expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the joy of offering the pottery program during Art Week 2024. He commended the opportunity to work alongside the Pullman team to elevate the guest experience and was thrilled to share the craft of pottery in such an inspiring and dynamic setting.

This successful event underscored Pullman Maldives Maamutaa’s dedication to providing creative and transformative experiences, seamlessly integrating artistic exploration with the island's natural beauty. The initiative is a testament to Pullman’s global mission of fostering local talent, art, and cultural enrichment, making it a key aspect of the resort’s identity.
