Tune said of his exhibit: “I love to paint. If you can be in a constant state of creativity, that’s the dream. Whether it’s audiences inside a theatre, or guests of CIVILIAN’s masterfully curated hotel, I strive to activate the imagination with my art.” 
 
David Rockwell, the architect and creative visionary behind CIVILIAN’s theater-focused concept and Olio Collection, added, “I’ve always wanted to work with Tommy Tune. A true Broadway legend. His brush strokes are as theatrical and imaginative as his stage work.”
