ArtTour International Magazine, in collaboration with Create 4 Peace, proudly presented the highly anticipated ATIM Top 60 Masters Awards, affectionately known as “The Oscars of the Visual Arts.” This prestigious event, now in its 11th year, took place recently and celebrated the world’s most talented visual artists.

The Top 60 Masters Awards, created by the visionary Viviana Puello, Founder and CEO of ArtTour International Magazine, has become synonymous with recognizing and promoting artists on a global scale. Each year, this esteemed awards ceremony honors 60 international masters in various visual art forms, including painting, sculpture, photography, digital painting, and installation.

Unlike other awards, the Top 60 Masters Awards judges artists solely on the quality of their artwork rather than their fame or popularity. This commitment to impartial judgment democratizes the art industry, offering equal opportunities for both emerging talents and established professionals.

Winning a Top 60 Masters Award is a career-defining achievement for any artist. The awards ceremony provides a prestigious platform to showcase their work, gaining recognition and visibility in the art world. Over the years, this event has garnered a reputation as the most significant awards ceremony in the industry, often likened to the illustrious “Oscars of the Visual Arts.”

The influence of the Top 60 Masters Awards extends far beyond a single evening of celebration. The accolade bestows credibility upon artists and serves as a seal of approval for the exceptional quality of their work. As a result, award recipients experience enhanced opportunities for future exhibitions, sales, and collaborations, along with increased visibility and reputation within the art market.

ArtTour International Magazine, renowned for its dedication to showcasing global artistic talent, is the driving force behind the Top 60 Masters Awards. Winning artists receive extensive coverage through a multimedia feature in the magazine, including a prominent placement in the best-selling annual publication, “Top 60 Masters of Contemporary Art.” Furthermore, artists are featured on the popular television show ArtTour International and receive extensive exposure across online platforms and social media.

The Top 60 Masters Awards ceremony has become an iconic event in the art industry, captivating art enthusiasts, collectors, and critics worldwide. Its significance has been underscored by the diverse range of awe-inspiring venues that have hosted the ceremony over the years. From the grandeur of the Auditorium Al Duomo in Florence, Italy, to the historic elegance of the Castello Estense in Ferrara and the enchanting ambiance of the Saint-Martin de la Garrigue Castle in Montagnac, France, each venue adds its unique flavor to the night.
