Thunderbird Artists, Producers of Fine Art & Wine Festivals in Arizona, has an Award-Winning September
Fountain Hills, AZ (PRWEB) September 27, 2014 -- Each year, the Fountain Hills Award Program identifies companies that they believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and community. These exceptional companies help make the Fountain Hills area a great place to live, work and play.
Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to select the winners in each category. The 2014 Fountain Hills Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the Fountain Hills Award Program and data provided by third parties.
The AzTEC Awards began in 1994 and is a critical component of successful events and their abilities to distinguish themselves in the most attractive and innovative ways possible. The 20th Annual 2014 AzTEC Awards is sponsored by APS and is endorsed by the International Festivals and Events Association, IFEA.
Thunderbird Artists received three AzTEC Awards for 2014 in the following categories;
Best VIP Gift Award -“Thunderbird Artists’ Collector Bag”
Best Shirt Design Award -“Party Time” by artist Wei Tai
Best Event Poster Award -“An Unconditional Love” by artist Esther Rogoway.
Thunderbird Artists' events provide an outstanding variety of mediums, subject matters, sizes and price ranges that satisfy the desires of each and every patron attending. Judi Combs states, “I believe the arts are an integral part of each community. I want Thunderbird Artists to be seen as ambassadors of the arts; connecting, inspiring, educating and enhancing the experience and appreciation of fine art. My hope is that our patrons find something that appeals to their liking and leave our festivals with special memories of a first class event.”
In addition to fine art, Thunderbird Artists’ festivals are recognized throughout the Southwest region for producing Arizona’s largest and finest wine tasting events with their “special ambiance experience”. Patrons enjoy sipping fine wines while strolling amongst the premium gathering of art and listening to live musical entertainment. Their audience loves stopping periodically throughout the show to try more samples featuring wines from all parts of our world, such as Germany, France, Italy, Chile, Australia and of course, the local wines of Arizona’s top winegrowers and wineries throughout the United States.
Thunderbird Artists proudly share their longest running partnership with the Carefree/Cave Creek Chamber of Commerce, Patty Villeneuve, Executive Director, their great members and special volunteers that began 23 years ago. Thunderbird Artists’ recent charities consist of Scottsdale Kiwanis, Sunset Kiwanis of Fountain Hills, Surprise Sundancers and the veteran charity, American Healing Arts Foundation, which was founded by Combs. Past charities involved were Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Fountain Hills Business Association, Terpsicore Dance Company, the Humane Society, the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce and the American Diabetes Association.
