Collaborative Art Belt on Tour in the U.S

LOS ANGELES - Oct. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- SARTONK, the premier designer of boxing belts, collaborated with Atlanta-based visual artist, Dubelyoo, to create a special boxing piece for Art, Beats + Lyrics, a traveling multimedia art and music exhibition. The first show, on October 3, 2014, brought together over 5,000 members of the Atlanta Community.

SARTONK and Dubelyoo created a belt that honors former champions of the International Boxing Federation (IBF). The classic elements of the IBF belt are embellished by a visually striking strap and painted portraits of former IBF Champions Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. The piece is part of Dubelyoo’s boxing-themed installation, which includes a virtual boxing gym and the artist’s paintings and drawings.

As Co-Producer of the show, Dubelyoo has been a driving force in bringing art to communities for nearly a decade. During the development stage of his installation, he contacted SARTONK with the idea of a collaboration. “Considering SARTONK’s portfolio and unprecedented quality of belts, they were the natural fit for this project,” commented Dubelyoo.

“Any opportunity to collaborate with someone as dedicated to community and craft as Dubelyoo is a blessing. We’re thankful to the IBF for approving of this project and its aim,” expressed Edward S. Majian, President of SARTONK. A boxing belt that honors specific champions fell right in line with the launch of SARTONK’s “Honor Your Champion” campaign and apparel line.

Art enthusiasts and community members posed with the belt in front of Dubelyoo’s installation. “Of all my pieces, the ‘Honor Your Champion’ IBF custom belt clearly stole the show,” intimated the exuberant Dubelyoo. The Art Belt will continue on tour with Art, Beats + Lyrics in Birmingham on Nov. 14 and in St Louis on Dec. 5, 2014.
