The 2005 ARTV AWARDS

The Premiere, Red Carpet, Televised Awards for Fine Artists!

New York Sneak Preview & Press Party March 3-5th, 2005

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- ARTV Executive Producer AUDREY ROBERTS will hold a 3-day sneak preview of the first group of 2005 ARTV AWARDS national art finalists at the New York ART EXPO. ARTV installation #1876 will open to the international art industry at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center from March 3rd - 5th, 2005.

The ARTV mission is to spotlight fine artists and present them to the public as an alternative higher programming choice! ARTV has achieved this in the past and will complete this mission in the future through 'ART Goes On the Air' and the very first annual ARTV AWARDS premiering in 2005!

At the ART EXPO, internationally acclaimed artist Joseph Palermo, a nominee from Las Vegas chosen to create the national ARTV AWARDS poster, will be there to unveil the artwork and sign the ARTV AWARDS posters. ARTV will also present a sneak video preview of 35 artists on the BIG SCREEN! The new ARTV Video/DVD -- 'The First Cut' -- shows highlights of the national award nominees, celebrity artists, and their reactions to this long overdue awards celebration. Artists will step out from behind their creations to present themselves and their concepts to a national audience!

The 'Meet the First Ten Nominees' party will be held at the Progressive Art Gallery at the WELL, located on the fifth floor at 85 5th Avenue, close to 16th Street.
