  • Stacey Milne, Vice President of Portfolio Marketing Strategy & Planning, Marriott International, said, “Art is a universal language that evokes passion and spurs travel. We want to see what #LoveTravels means to people all around the world by inviting them to share their artistic expressions of love, as one collective voice, this Pride season.” All visual and written expressions using the #LoveTravels and #MyPride hashtags on Instagram and Twitter will be included in the massive global art installation, so you too can join in!  For each submission, Marriott will be making a donation to Casa Ruby, the only bilingual multicultural LGBT organization providing lifesaving services to many of the most vulnerable transgender residents of Washington, D.C.. The money will be used to support Casa Ruby’s Drop-in and Crisis Intervention Center, and their Limited Financial assistance program for those facing intense financial difficulties. Marriott will be sending out #LoveTravels art boxes to partner organizations so as many people as possible can participate in the project. Share your own expressions with #LoveTravels and #MyPride to be featured in the art exhibit and help Marriott raise money for Casa Ruby!
