El Paso's Virtuoso's Award Ceremony
For two decades, Virtuoso Productions LLC has believed in one simple truth: “If you believe, you can build. And when you build with heart, you bless generations.” Founded in 2009 (after its roots in community theatre circa 2006), Virtuoso Productions grew from small stages and neighborhood shows into a multimedia powerhouse — producing films, festivals, educational programs, and faith-based experiences that have transformed the El Paso creative landscape. Now, on the milestone year leading to The Believe Impact Awards stand as the culmination of that dream — honoring those who embody the Virtuoso spirit through their art, service, and belief in others.
🌟 About the Awards
The Believe Impact Awards are the pinnacle celebration of the Virtuoso journey — a 17+-year creative mission that began on the theatre stages of El Paso in 2009 and has since expanded into film, education, and community leadership. This purple-carpet event honors artists, educators, entrepreneurs, and believers who have turned vision into impact — people who build, bless, and inspire through creativity, compassion, and excellence.
