Sweet Tooth Hotel unveils immersive art installation by Hannah Busekrus March 8

Sweet Tooth Hotel, the artistic wonderland that takes “hotel guests” through a series of rooms where immersive surprises await, has a dedicated space in its flagship downtown Dallas location in which it hosts rotating artists. Beginning March 8, Sweet Tooth Hotel will feature an immersive, interactive installation by fiber artist Hannah Busekrus in partnership with Topo Chico.

The installation, Sabores Splash, will be unveiled from 5:30-9 p.m. March 8, with a party that falls on International Women’s Day, a global holiday celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women, so it is fitting that the new installation was created by a woman. Busekrus is an Austin-based artist who got her start in the fiber arts community in 2006 in Honolulu, creating patterns for micro crochet jewelry, knit finger puppets and crocheted dolls.

She also began yarn-bombing, putting her work out in her local Hawaiian community and Austin when she traveled to Texas. Since then, her work has been displayed across Hawaii and Texas. Another of Busekrus’ installations, So Cozy, was created for Sweet Tooth Hotel’s previous locations in Victory Park and Allen.

Topo Chico will be on site giving away free goodies in the Calirosa Cocktail Lounge located outside the exhibit. The lounge will introduce an exclusive, limited-time-only cocktail/mocktail menu featuring some new Topo Chico drinks. The first 50 guests will receive a free Calirosa cocktail courtesy of Calirosa Tequila and Topo Chico. While at the event, guests can meet Busekrus, who will also be creating a live fiber art community mural that guests can add to as they learn the process of rug tufting.

A free RSVP allows access to the Calirosa Cocktail Lounge for the opening party and participation in the community mural. A $25 general admission ticket also allows guests admission to the entire dreamland art exhibit, including Hannah’s newest installation. Reservations may be booked here.
