ArtTour International Magazine is proud to present the Emerald ARTYA (Artivist of the Year Award) to exceptional artists who use their craft to make the world a better place by conveying a powerful message.

The Emerald ARTYA Awards is a prestigious platform that acknowledges and honors artists who are using their creativity to bring about a positive impact on the world.

Art has the power to transform society, and we celebrate artists who promote social justice, equality, environmental conservation, and unity. Our awardees embody the essence of the Emerald ARTYA Awards, inspiring hope for a better future. Through their art, they challenge stereotypes and promote empathy. We honor their dedication to using art for a cause.

The Emerald ARTYA Awards were established in 2017 by Viviana Puello, an internationally recognized curator, art business expert, and philanthropist founder of ArtTour International magazine. She saw the need to acknowledge and honor artists who use their art to raise awareness about important issues and positively impact the world. Their art sparks conversations, challenges stereotypes, and promotes empathy. The award is a recognition of artistic talent and a platform that supports artists making a real difference. It offers benefits like exposure in ArtTour International magazine, networking opportunities with industry professionals, and access to workshops and events. We aim to provide artists with the support they need to continue creating art that positively impacts society.
