From Vision to Legacy: How 14 Years of Art Changed Lives and Redefined Possibilities

Dear Readers,

Fourteen years ago, I stood at the crossroads of a dream and a daunting reality. ArtTour International emerged as a powerful idea—a vision for a magazine that would amplify artists’ voices and connect art lovers to the inspiring stories behind the masterpieces. I never imagined how profoundly this journey would shape my life or how many lives it would touch.

As I write this letter today, I am filled with gratitude. It is incredible that we now reach over two million readers in 180 countries—far beyond anything I envisioned in those early days. We’ve traveled to 59 cities, championed countless art initiatives, and had the privilege of witnessing the magic of creativity across the globe.

Through platforms like Vivid Arts TV—available on Apple TV, Roku, Amazon TV, iOS, and Google Play—we’ve been able to share the powerful stories of artists with a broader audience than ever before. Our award-winning print and digital magazine continues to serve as a sanctuary for creativity, while the ArtTour International TV Show on MNN.org in New York amplifies the voices of artists whose work inspires and transforms.

What makes this milestone truly special is you—our artists, our readers, our global community. You have believed in this mission and shared your art, stories, and hearts. You’ve turned this magazine into something much more than a publication; it’s a movement, a family, and a celebration of the incredible power of art to unite us.

This 14th-anniversary issue honors the journey we’ve’ shared. It pays tribute to every courageous artist, every inspired reader, and the enduring connection that binds us together.

As we look to the future, my heart is full of hope. There’s so much more to create, so many stories to tell, and so much potential waiting to unfold. I invite you to continue this journey with us—because the magic of ArtTour International isn’t just about what we’ve accomplished; it’s about what we’ll do next together.

With all my love and gratitude,

Viviana Puello
