The Top Environmentalist Artists of the Year Awarded in New York in an Unprecedented Event! ArtTour International Magazine, in collaboration with Artists for a Green Planet, celebrated an exciting award ceremony honoring a selection of artists for their role in environmental conservation through the ARTYA Awards. World-renowned figures in the art industry converged on November 9th, 2018, to celebrate their achievements and contributions in making the world a better place through art. The award ceremony took place with an exciting environmental exhibition where the step and repeat banner was decorated with grass instead of a red carpet, and bamboo
trunks, flowers, plants, and other recycled materials served as the backdrop for the masterpieces shown by sixteen international artists that gathered in New York to send a message of environmental conservation. Leading artists from all over the world were the proud recipients of this prestigious award, and their works were showcased in the exhibit "Wonders of Our Universe," hosted at the Viviana Puello Gallery in Manhattan, home of the ARTYA Awards.
The award presented to the artists was an artwork by Viviana Puello founder of Artists For A Green Planet. “Ocean Blue” was done in recycled pieces of wood with the artist’s favorite mixes of blue hues, powdered Lapis, and gold foil.
