ArtTour International presents
Top 60 Masters Awards 2027
Toronto, Canada · May 2027Awards ceremony and book publication · May 22, 2027
Your work grows from a way of seeing that is your own. It carries the questions you return to and the visual language you have developed over time.
The Top 60 Masters Awards bring together artists whose individual visions give this international community its character. We invite you to share your work for consideration for our fifteenth edition in Toronto, honoring sixty artists from around the world.

The Vision Behind 2027
Art Can Bring Us Closer.
An artwork can draw us into a life very different from our own. Through another person’s eyes, we encounter memories, questions and hopes that deepen our understanding of one another.
Humanity Reimagine: A Call for Peace continues our mission of intercultural exchange and peace awareness through the arts. Presented in collaboration with Create4Peace.org, this edition embraces peace among people, care for our environment and respect for the species with whom we share our planet.
Curatorial Review
Share Your Work for Consideration.
Tell us where we can see your work and, if you wish, a little about your artistic practice. Our team will review your submission and respond within one week.
An application is a request for consideration. It does not confirm selection or registration. Selected artists receive a personal invitation with the full participation details to review before deciding whether to join us.
“As an artist, I know how personal the creative journey can be. I look forward to learning about your work and, if we can extend an invitation, welcoming you to this celebration.”

The Moment
We Have So Much to Celebrate.
We love seeing an artist’s face when their name is called—the smile, the joy, the pride as they step forward to receive their award. Behind that moment are years of creating, exploring, and remaining faithful to a personal vision. It means so much to us to see that dedication celebrated.
We want each artist to have time to enjoy the recognition and take it all in. Making time to meet, mingle, and build relationships is equally important to us. Around the room are fellow artists who understand, through their own lives, the care behind the work.
Some of our favorite moments unfold as stories are exchanged and conversations continue over dinner. Artists who have traveled different paths discover how much they share.
The warmth of those encounters, and the friendships that continue long after the celebration, are among the things we treasure most about Top 60 Masters.

Toronto · May 2027
Time to Celebrate. Time to Know One Another.
The formal recognition is part of a gathering that gives artists time to enjoy being together. The welcome evening begins the introductions; the farewell dinner leaves room for conversations to continue.
The dates of the welcome evening and farewell dinner, detailed start times and the remaining gathering locations are shared with registered artists.
The Book
A Collection for the Years Ahead.
We approach each edition knowing that these pages may be opened many years from now. Someone may discover an artist for the first time, return to a favorite work, or find the name of someone they love.
That possibility matters to us. It guides the attention we give to the collection, bringing individual voices together while respecting what makes each artist’s contribution their own.
A copy might find its place on a studio shelf, be opened during a conversation with a collector, or be passed to the next generation. Within its pages is a record of a creative life at a particular point in time, ready for someone else to discover.
Produced in hardcover, printed in Italy and presented in full color, the book is curated by Viviana Puello and designed by Alan Grimandi. Each 2027 honoree receives a full-page feature and one printed copy. The edition is published on May 22, 2027.
Beyond Toronto
A Community You Can Return To.
The artists who come together bring different experiences and ways of working. Getting to know one another gives those differences a place in the conversation.
Through the Artist Circle and our virtual networking meetings, honorees can introduce their work, exchange ideas and get to know artists in other countries from wherever they are based. These encounters offer time to build relationships beyond the ceremony, including for artists who cannot travel to Toronto.
The Art Titans Connection
Art Titans: Masters of the New Era, directed by Alan Grimandi and Viviana Puello, features artists selected exclusively from Top 60 Masters Award honorees. Honorees are eligible to apply for separate consideration for the series.

Their publication and recognition remain part of the edition. Personal invitations explain the remote participation and mailing arrangements.
