Palm Beach County --The Art Synergy PBC Annual Backpacks and School Supply Drive Kicks off this Thursday and continues through August 6, 2022.

“Many families in Palm Beach County have hit very hard and quite possibly suffered the greatest economic hit in the last few years.” says, Art Synergy founder and CEO, Rolando Chang Barrero, “That’s why we are calling for everyone to respond to our friends and families here in Palm Beach County immediately.”

Among the organizations that will co-sponsor this years drive are The YWCA of Palm County, The Latin Quarter, and MoviesMakingADifference. 

Barrero says, “Having Sasha A. Baranov, Dir. of Development and Communications, Dina Rubio, Founder of The Latin Quarter, and Diana Davis of MoviesMakingAdifference is what community leadership is all about.” 

The campaign designed for all students serves two purposes: raise awareness of the poverty and challenges that our PBC families have suffered during the on-going pandemic and housing crisis. We feel that together we can alleviate some of the costs in preparing our  children for the upcoming school year by providing backpacks, art supplies and basic school supplies for children.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

South Florida artists and friends raise over $22,000 and establish fund for artists in crisis.

FLORIDA- The Coronavirus devastated and paralyzed the arts throughout Florida, but some South Florida artists, friends and collectors responded in kind and raised over $22,000 dollars. Art Synergy will be benefiting from the sale and establish The Art Synergy AID Fund.

The Art Synergy AID Auction and The Art Altruist Auction on Hindman Auctions were the brainchild of visual artist, Rolando Chang Barrero, who recently was awarded a MUSE Award for “Outstanding Cultural Leadership by The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County, and fellow artist, Camilla Webster currently exhibiting at The Coral Springs Museum. 

The auctions were to establish The Art Synergy AID Fund to make available emergency relief grants for artists affected by the coronavirus. 

“We want to thank all the people who attended the auctions in particular collectors Barry Hayes and Nina G. Greenfield for their generosity and spirit of philanthropy,” says Rolando Chang Barrero..  

The alliance between Art Synergy’s co-founder Rolando Chang Barrero and The Art Altruist’s founder Camilla Webster, brought together major partners and supporters like The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County, Art Palm Beach and The Clark Hulings Fund to get money quickly to artists in crisis. It was through this alliance that it was possible to bring together over 85 artists to re-engage with the art market and with each other online and proved there is a digital future for the business in just under two short months from home, thanks to the incredible volunteer efforts.

' I am so pleased that we were able to offer so many wonderful artists to the auction market for the first time, shared Independent advisor and altruist “Kate Waterhouse. “Artists such as Cheryl Maeder, Matt Neuman and Zachary Zaittzeff, among others found their footing beautifully on the secondary market and I am sure they will continue to shine write in the future. It is always exciting to be a part of that in an artist's career.”

Art Synergy AID Fund will soon begin accepting grant applications for up to $500 as a direct result of efforts by The Art Altruist group including famous interior designer and art donor Guy Clark, independent art advisor Kate Waterhouse, appraiser Kelly Lucchini, Miami Gallerist Valeray Francisco, dealer and Palm Beach Gallerist Paul Fisher, donor and artist Ezra Hubbard, executive Steve Watson, producer Reese Blanke, and social media advisor Jake Nicholas.

Artists in crisis can contact ArtSynergyPBC@gmail.com for details.
Donations to Art Synergy can be made at www.ArtSynrgy.org

Portland Views, by Reese Hendrik Blanke

Palm Beach County—Online art auction and online exhibits may now part of the new normal in the local Palm Beach art scene since the closing and cancelation of many galleries, museums, and the cancelations of art exhibitions. Art Synergy well known for its dedication to solutions will be leading the way by presenting the first local online art auctions to benefit local artists on May 22, 2020 at 6 PM. More than 30 local artists have already welcomed the opportunity to get work shown and make sales at local 50/50 Art Synergy AID Auction and have set an exemplary and empathic display of support for their colleagues in distress. 

The artist call has had a robust response since released by Juried Art Services last week and expected to increase by the deadline on May 10, 2020. Some notable artists Laurent Dareau, Suzanne Barton, Jim Hunter, Twyla Gettert, Camilla Webster, Adam Dolle, Brian Cattelle, Reese Blanke, Andrew Hollimon and Rolando Chang Barrero were among the first to submit works to support the Art Synergy AID Auction and emergency fund.
