Hôtel Swexan will welcome renowned contemporary artist and photographer Adrien Broom as its first artist-in-residence from November 11–22, 2026. In collaboration with Martine Chaisson Gallery, Broom will transform the hotel’s terrace with “The Garden of Unexpected Guests,” an immersive installation created exclusively for Hôtel Swexan. The limited engagement will bring Broom’s signature “Living Tableaux” photography series to Harwood District, offering guests the opportunity to step inside her imaginative world.
Artist in Residency
November 11 – 22, 2026
For “The Garden of Unexpected Guests,” Broom will reimagine Hôtel Swexan’s terrace as an enchanted garden populated by large-scale, hyper-realistic topiaries and fantastical details. The installation will serve as both an immersive artwork and the setting for Broom’s Living Tableaux portraits, allowing guests not simply to experience the work, but to become part of it.
Private, 90-minute living tableaux photography sessions are highly limited, and are available for individuals, couples, families, groups, and pets.
Hotel Guests will receive a preferred rate.
