To the uninitiated, art is simply a creative expression that provides audiences with a visually pleasing experience. However, more than its aesthetic qualities, what truly makes a masterpiece stand out is the message it conveys. Given this, renowned multimedia art platform Arttour International Magazine has created the annual Emerald Artya Awards or ARTivist of the Year Awards.
The prestigious accolade aims to recognize artists who have devoted themselves to creating with a purpose, whether by bringing to light crucial and relevant social issues or simply bringing joy to their audience through color and imagery. In addition, it acknowledges and gives honor to remarkable individuals who have masterfully utilized their artistic skills and talent to champion various advocacies such as environmentalism, humanitarianism, and education.
For this year’s iteration, the festivities will be held directly from the Arttour International studios in NYC, and the awards will be presented via a virtual ceremony. Aside from having the highly coveted distinction of becoming the ARTivist of the Year, the winners will also receive a stunning award created with 24K Italian Gold Leaf and a Natural Colombian Emerald, an original work of art designed by none other than Viviana Puello, ArtTour International Magazine CEO and originator of the Emerald Artya Awards.
When asked to share her inspiration for creating the award-giving body, the visionary profoundly replied, “These artists are to make a difference, not just for themselves, but for their community. And we want to celebrate their efforts while also shining a light on their projects so the rest of the world can hear their message.”
The exceptional leader is also the brilliant mind behind the ArtTour International Magazine Top Sixty Masters Awards, more popularly known as “Oscars of the Visual Arts.” It is a publication that showcases art from amazing creators all over the globe. The selection process is highly rigid, and Viviana herself handpicks the 60 featured artists from a pool of over 1,200 submissions.
As for the Emerald Artya Awards, not only does it commemorate the outstanding gift of artists and creatives, but most importantly, it serves as a necessary reminder to the community of the significant contributions and impact art has on the world. Because of its inspiring vision, ArtTour International Magazine has cultivated an impressive culture that encourages artist-activists to use their talents to leave a lasting legacy that will positively change society.
Aside from that, the enterprise utilizes its print and digital magazine, TV network, full PR agency, and partner gallery in New York to promote its goal of elevating the art scene. Moreover, the multimedia organization remains steadfast in its promise of promoting well-deserving artists and providing them with a platform where they can freely share their cause.
The 2022 Emerald Artya Awards will be on November 12th from 4 to 6 PM EST. Audiences and viewers can tune in to the grand celebration as it happens from the comforts of their own homes. The Virtual Awards Ceremony broadcast will be available worldwide through the Vivid Arts TV Network on 20 channels, including Roku, Amazon Fire, and Apple TV.
