August 10, 2013 marked the finale of Lumen8's month long festivities. The finale kicked-off with presenting Luis Peralta Del Valle, a local Ward 8 resident and artist, the second annual East of the River Distinguished Artist Award, presented by ARCH Development Corporation and the Gautier Family. I have had the pleasure of knowing Peralta for the past year and witnessing his accomplishments in the art world. His artwork consists of more than what is painted on the canvas, there are histories that lie throughout each stroke. I believe that the following words some up his values and work as an artist:
Art is to be used as a teaching top to help people understand each other's faiths and cultures. the ate have the power to influence any society and artists are responsible for spreading a message of hope.
Peralta Del Valle runs the Luis Peralta Art and Design Company where he helps other artists gain exposure for their artwork and connect art advocates and collectors with local artists.
