Tanteo Tequila unveils NYC’s Rising Star Mexican-Inspired Artists.

Tanteo Tequila kicked off a search for the top three Rising Star Mexican-Inspired Artists in New York City on Cinco de Mayo. Last night the brand announced the three winners: Michael Pribich, Martha Clippinger and Doraelia Ruiz. Each was introduced to an audience of media and New York tastemakers at a festive event held at Milk Studios in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District.

Jonathan Rojewski, CEO and founder of Tanteo Tequila, created the brand of hand-crafted, naturally infused premium Blanco tequilas as both a celebration of Mexico and a reflection of his New York style. With the Tanteo Art Contest, Rojewski aimed to showcase how these two worlds inspire each other and, thereby, result in extraordinary art. The entries were judged by Rojewski, Angie Romero of Latina Magazine, Harry Stendhal of New York’s Maya Stendhal Gallery, and Aldo Sanchez, curator of the Mexican Cultural Institute.
