DELTA TIGERS - STAY STRONG
I am proud to announce I have been selected for the first ever Atlanta ArtPop Street Gallery! Communities need art and ArtPop supports artists in a very big way by displaying them in the largest gallery in Atlanta - the billboards around the metro area! In a nutshell what this means is the great folks at ArtPop have partnered with billboard companies to display select local artists on billboards around Atlanta. Keep an eye out for our stuff (especially at the airport)! And thank you ArtPop.

MY STORY
My name is Tony Ragunas. I was a founding partner with Single Source, Inc, a coatings company based in Atlanta, GA. We grew our business from one location to a national network with annual sales exceeding $250 million. In 2015, we accepted an offer we couldn’t refuse to sell the business. I took that opportunity to focus on my true love of art and design. Building on undergraduate art studies at the University of Notre Dame, I began exploring ceramics at Callanwolde Arts Center and have since transitioned to oil painting and multi-media. My goal is to merge my love for creating art into a vehicle to raise money for both art and education initiatives. My focus is on creating custom work with a style and subject matter that is modern and unique with a handmade feel. I strive to limit my palette to no more than three bold colors, with large striking images; all inspired by the street and gallery art currently exploding in the Marais district of Paris. As my custom projects are very labor intensive, I only tend to create 3 to 4 large pieces a year. I hope you like them!
NOW IN ITALY! I’M HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE MY LATEST WORK, PARTNERING WITH ONE OF ITALY’S MOST BEAUTIFUL HILL TOWNS TO CREATE CUSTOM LABELS FOR THEIR LATEST RELEASES!
I AM EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE "THE CREATION OF FERRARI" RAISED $17,500 TO SUPPORT CURE, CAMP SUNSHINE AND CALLANWOLDE CENTER FOR THE ARTS!
Honored to be selected to be part of the Notre Dame community raising funds this year!
