A student, protégé and friend of German artist George Grosz, Cenedella is now passing on the legacy of Grosz’s approach to art, in the very same room where Grosz taught.

Viva Las Vegas is a preacher, just like her Lutheran minister father. Unlike her father, Viva preaches, "Thank you for supporting the arts," to people who throw bills on stage while she dances naked in a dark Portland strip club.

Viva celebrates the female form, advocates for the empowerment of all women, and commands respect for women whose careers depend on their bodies. A shocking breast cancer diagnosis and double mastectomy did not dampen her missionary zeal, and Viva continues to dance, scars and all, reminding the rest of us that art is everywhere and art is everything.
