Artfest Launches Exclusive Limited Edition Golf Art Series and Special Tiger Woods Signed Porcelain Collection
5 minutes ago - Market Wire

Artfest International, Inc. (OTCBB: ARTI) is pleased to announce its new "Golf Memories" Collection on www.artchannelgalleries.com. This limited edition signed and numbered Giclee collection celebrates some of the greatest Golf Courses around the world played by true golf legends. The collection features art at "Springtime in Augusta," "The 17th Hole at Sawgrass" and the classic "Maui Golf." The art also comes with a special Tiger Woods signed Boehm Porcelain collectible Tiger.

Internationally acclaimed artist Malcolm Farley (www.artchannelgalleries.com/art-malcolm-farley.aspx) is renowned for his visions of color and unique ability to capture "the moment, the action, and the spirit of the event." In his unique impressionistic style, Malcolm blends color with the drama of some of the world's most memorable moments in time. Malcolm pauses, scrutinizes and shrugs. "Everywhere I look I see these fantastic, bright colors. It has been that way since I was a kid."

In his formidable years, Farley traveled the world with his family gaining cultural perspectives. As a scholarship athlete, he learned to combine his athletic talents and passion as a jazz saxophonist with art to obtain his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Metropolitan State College in Denver. After receiving various collegiate awards, Malcolm chose the path of a commercial artist, becoming a connoisseur of many styles. Today, with his reputation as one of the modern master painters, he holds company with just a handful. His recent successes include commissions by The Sopranos, Major League Baseball's 30 most Memorable Moments, the NFL & Pepsi to release 800 million SuperBowl commemorative cans, US Opens, Mikhail Gorbachev, All Star Games and the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.

The signed Boehm Porcelain collectible features a baby tiger holding a golf ball. The collectible is accompanied by a photograph of Tiger Woods and his late father Earl Woods. The Giclee collection also showcases artwork signed and numbered by renowned artist Malcolm Farley. Many of the paintings feature world famous golf courses where Tiger Woods has won some of his most spectacular tournaments. This is a very unique one of a kind collector's package for both the golf enthusiast and investor.

"The Golf Memories collection is an incredible addition to our portfolio of signed and numbered limited edition art and collectibles," says Edward Vakser, CEO and Chairman of Artfest. "This collection marks another milestone in our entry into the world of sports memorabilia and collectibles in art reproduction. I look forward to future collections that further cater to the interests of our growing international Member database."
