The DM Zone – Interviews with the Master Artists of ASTA – Annual Show & Sale in Scottsdale

SCOTTSDALE ART SHOW FEATURES ART’S BIGGEST TROPHY AND BEST ARTISTS IN THE WORLD — LIVING MASTER ARTISTS

It’s the biggest trophy in the art world — the Goddess of Art Award. This is the OSCAR for an artist — the pinnacle achievement for a master artist. It is a custom sculpture by Vala Ola, a living master artist as determined by the Art Renewal Center. The statue weighs over 20 pounds and is nearly 24 inches in height. We will bring the award sculpture for the interview, too.

Master artists from all over the world have submitted their artwork to be judged by Art Industry experts — with the winner receiving the coveted Goddess of Art Award. Scottsdale will host artists and artwork from throughout the United States, Italy, Mexico, Norway Australia, the Ukraine, Iceland and other countries. And there is a great charity auction slated to raise tens of thousands of dollars for an Art Therapy Program for Veterans with PTSD — an outreach program of the Arizona Art Alliance.

“The bronze gives me an opportunity to mold the sense of life into an everlasting form. From the force of a muscle in motion to a tender human emotion expressed. That along with the abstract quality of composition is what inspires me.””
