Celebrity Silhouette to bring out your inner artist

Celebrity Cruises has recently introduced the Art Studio and promises to release your inner artist

Celebrity has long been recognised for its amazing collection of contemporary art, with hundreds of original works on every ship and the recent introduction of self-guided tours via iPad, but, now the cruise line is offering a unique opportunity for passengers to create their own with the new Celebrity Silhouette Art Studio

Located within the distinctive Lawn Club area on the top deck of Celebrity’s newest ship, The Art Studio will offer guests a wide variety of lectures, demonstrations and interactive classes ranging from jewellery creation, sketching and painting all led by master artists.

When Celebrity Silhouette debuts in July of this year, and throughout the ship’s European season, guests will have the opportunity to participate in interactive sessions with two master artists sourced through the brand’s new partnership with ArtCenter/South Florida: Leslie LaCombe and Armando Droulers.

Leslie LaCombe worked in the art departments of film and television for many years. She then studied silver jewellery design with accomplished artist Billy King in Mexico, and soon found her work on display at a prominent local gallery. She has travelled extensively in Southeast Asia, India and Europe, with the various cultures inspiring many of her works.

Armando Droulers is an art historian, artist and educator who studied at Bard College, Academia de Arte Federico Brandt, New World School of the Arts, and the University of South Florida. He lectures extensively on art and culture, and also organizes art tours and cultural events across the globe. Droulers has lived in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and the U.S., and speaks fluent English, Spanish and French. On Celebrity Silhouette, Droulers will teach drawing, watercolour and collage classes, offer presentations on the history and art of the destinations the ship visits, and will lead art and wine lectures in the ship’s sophisticated CellarMasters wine bar, and sketching courses in various ports of call.
