STRATUS MEDIA GROUP SELECTS BARRY ROWE'S BLUE BUGATTI AS ARTISTIC SYMBOL OF THE MILLE MIGLIA TRIBUTE
Branding of Event Includes Artistic Partnership with One of World’s Leading Automotive Artists
SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stratus Media Group, Inc. (OTCBB:SMDI), a live entertainment company, today announced the selection of Barry Rowe’s painting entitled, “Blue Bugatti” as the branding symbol of the US Mille Miglia Salute Road Rally. Earlier this year, Stratus acquired the exclusive rights to produce the Mille Miglia Tribute in North America from MAC Group and the Automobile Club of Brescia, Italy. In the fall, Stratus will host a Mille Miglia mini-tribute in 10 cities throughout the United States in conjunction with the National Tour D’Elegance which will include a 1,000 mile Mille Miglia Tribute on the California coast, featuring several special stops along the way at various historic and scenic points. With over 100 classic cars from all over the world, the Mille Miglia Tribute is expected to bring a select group of participants and business together in an exclusive blend of energy, design, tradition and style.
Stratus selected Rowe’s Blue Bugatti because it perfectly captures the spirit and social atmosphere of this year’s first US Mille Miglia Salute Road Rally and the Santa Barbara Concours d’Elegance. According to Jeremy Cable, VP of Motorsports and Car Shows for Stratus. “The Mille Miglia is an event with a very special and unique history that we feel will become a premier event for Stratus. Barry Rowe’s painting, with its vibrant coastal setting, sporting movement and gorgeous car, captures the beauty and excitement of the event which is enjoyed by millions of racing car enthusiasts each year in Europe. This is a historic but completely contemporary global automotive event and we feel the Rowe painting captures the excitement and beauty that is coming this fall.”
Barry Rowe has developed a worldwide following and an impressive list of private and corporate clients. He is the artist for the Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance. His distinctive style and passion for automobiles is reflected in his paintings. Commemorative posters and limited addition lithographs of the Blue Bugatti will be available for sale during the Concours. The original painting will be auctioned off to benefit a charity at the Concours d’Elegances Masquerade Ball on October 30th.
Paul Feller, President and CEO of Stratus said, “We are pleased to have selected Barry Rowe’s painting for our first Mille Miglia Tribute in the US. We think it will be a great symbol for what we are trying to bring to the United States: the beauty and excitement of classic racing cars, beautiful settings, and the shared experience and pleasure for spectators that comes from being part of automobile racing. High profile sponsors and thousands of people will want to be part of this experience.”
