"The boutique fair, comprising between 70 and 75 local and Latin American exhibitors, is the longest running art fair in Palm Beach County, and it boasts a diverse program of concurrent events."

“In celebration of the fair’s 20th anniversary we have commissioned a special curated exhibition, paintings, sculpture, photography, video, new technologies, performance art, and art installations, offering collectors exposure to today’s emerging art trends,”

Art Palm Beach founder Lee Ann Lester said in a statement.

As part of the county-wide Palm Beach Week, which runs through January 24th, the fair’s satellite events include art walks, performances, a fundraising gala, open studios, demonstrations, and museum exhibitions.

Other highlights include a discussion on the relationship between art and design with the honorary design chairperson of Art Palm Beach Campion Platt, a former honoree of Architectural Digest’s ‘AD100’ list, and the collector, curator and art historian Jane Hart. Additionally, ‘dialogues,’ a four day conference including 12 lectures and panel discussions, features leading experts and artists such as Perez Museum Miami’s chief curator Rene Morales.

Running concurrently, fair partner Art Synergy, a local art initiative representing nine art districts across Palm Beach county, is hosting 35 exhibition openings and evening events at galleries and local art and culture institutions. Amongst its exhibitions will be the 3rd annual Palm Beach Art Exhibition at Art Palm Beach, curated this year by Rolando Chang Barrero and featuring 23 artists.

Art Synergy is a 501 (c) 3, not for profit arts organization founded in 2013. The fruit of the labors of Rolando Chang Barrero, Craig McInnis and Freddy Hennevelt grew out of the original Think Tank,. It has flourished through grassroots efforts beginning with a partnership with Art Palm Beach.  Currently, Rolando Chang Barrero, President and Ilene Gruber Adams, Vice President are managing the organization along with the support of many artists and art lovers in the community. Volunteers and board members are always welcome.

By March 2017, Art Synergy will have organized 6 juried exhibition that have provided Florida based artists to have their work seen, and collected by national and international collectors and art patrons. Also, Art Synergy assists nine Florida art districts organize, promote and market over 65 exhibitions in each year throughout the Palm Beach and Martin County durning Art Palm Beach week which was initiated January 2014.

The nine art districts are: Antique Row Art District,Boynton Beach Art District,Delray Art Art District,Lake ParkArt District,North Palm Beach Art District,Lake Worth Art District,Northwood Village Art District,West Palm Beach Art District,Palm Beach Art District.

In 2016 Art Synergy was classified as a 501 (c) 3 not for profit arts organization which will allow for contributions and donations to a fund currently being created to allow needy families join experiential cultural experiences. This was possible because of the generosity of David and Lee Ann Lester of Next Level Fairs who donate exhibition spaces (Booths) at 2 of the Next Level Fairs: Art Palm Beach and Art Boca Raton.

ART SYNERGY is a countywide movement to unify and promote the diverse culture of our vibrant arts community. ART SYNERGY’s future goals include events that will happen periodically throughout the year, the addition of more participating art districts, and initiatives that help unify the many diverse art entities, and talented artists that Palm Beach County has to offer. With the help of local CRAs, Public Arts Departments, the DDA in WPB and the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County (to name a few), ART SYNERGY has only one place to go… onward and upward.

From The Shiny Sheet:

ArtPalmBeach will feature more than 60 dealers, including Adler & Conkright Fine Art, Duane Reed Gallery, Galerie de Bellefeuille, O. Ascanio Gallery, Olsen and Opera Gallery.

"The Lesters emphasize the educational and outreach components of their fair. “Art fairs at their best are about more than selling a piece of art,” Lester said. The fair offers a number of lectures, panel discussions and exhibitions, which are free with admission.

The Lesters also partner with the nonprofit Art Synergy, an umbrella under which eight art districts present exhibitions and events featuring local artists during the fair. “Their commitment to our market is amazing,” said Rolando Barrero, one of the founders of Art Synergy.

Art Synergy highlights this year include an exhibition at the fair and the new one-night Unleashed WPB: Alternative Art Fair, featuring installation, performance, video art and music Saturday at 1500 Elizabeth Ave. in West Palm Beach. The event benefits Art Synergy.

ABOUT NEW ARTS VENUE

New Arts Venue, the producer of UNLEASHED ART FAIR in West Palm Beach, is the brainchild of Rolando Chang Barrero, who has been organizing arts and entertainment events in Palm Beach County for more than a half of a decade since he arrived from South Beach in 2010.

"I wanted to create a Traveling Fine Art Event to feature Installation Art and Performance Art, so the partnership between New Arts Venue with WPB Warehouse District and Elizabeth Ave Station was ideal to initiate the project and raise funds for Art Synergy which recently acquired it's 501(C) 3 not for profit status," says Rolando Chang Barrero, organizer of this year's New UNLEASHED Alternative Arts Fair.

New Arts Venue draws for the best elements of some of Rolando Chang Barrero's most successful art projects and will pair them up with non-profits in need of fundraising, new businesses seeking to promote themselves in an extraordinary way, or private individuals looking to celebrate a special occasion and support the local art scene at the same time.

Rolando Chang Barrero is committed to finding new and innovative ways to  jumpstart the careers of young artist, mid career artist, and professional artists that are under represented. New Arts Venue follows a string of successful projects and programs he has initiated through his own 30 year career as an artist and arts advocate.

New Arts Venue will produce it's first project during
