Meet The Hosts
We are Nathan and Jeneale, founders of Thaniel Arts, an online contemporary gallery celebrating the innovative and unconventional craftsmanship of emerging Caribbean, Latin American, Asian & African artists and artists of the diaspora.
We help clients use artwork to curate intentional, personal, and meaningful spaces without compromising on brand values and goals, so that they can strengthen brand loyalty by developing a deep emotional connection between the guests and the brand.
As creative professionals who function in various capacities within the art, events and hospitality industries, we firmly believe that art is a bold expression of individuality, igniting a deep sense of inspiration while nurturing human connection.
In our travels and experience with expanding hotel developments across the Caribbean, we’ve seen a growing trend of similarity and in some cases ‘sameness’ between different hotel brands, a lack of emotional appeal, repurposing of strategies and approaches that worked well for one-region but does not translate in the same manner in a region with a different culture and people.
So we are on a mission to help you the hotelier and hospitality entrepreneur create intentional art-focused spaces that are culturally relevant, nurture emotional connection and build brand recognition, in turn growing revenue with an established and ever-expanding loyal customer base.
