Honored with prestigious awards such as the Martin Luther King, Jr. Freedom Award, Poppy Jasper International Film Festival Icon Award, and the Community Artist Excellence Award in New York, Moya's life's mission is twofold: to passionately pursue his dreams and to empower others to do the same. Nacho Moya's journey serves as a testament to art's transformative power and the enduring impact of compassion. Through his art and actions, he continues to inspire individuals to embrace their creativity and uplift their communities. As Moya himself often says, "Relax, Don’t Stress, and Do Your Best," reminding us all to approach life with resilience, optimism, and a commitment to excellence. Ignacio will be displaying some of his paintings at the festival. Check out the MOYA Art Gallery at 7516 Eigleberry St Ste 100, Gilroy, CA 95020.
