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.

ART SYNERGY is a county-wide movement to unify and promote the diverse culture of our vibrant arts community. In early 2013 a group of local artists pulled together to create Think Tank. Dedicated to finding solutions instead of dwelling on problems, the Think Tank was a forum for local artists and art advocates to come together and discuss ideas to help the local scene grow.

ART SYNERGY’s future goals include events that will happen periodically throughout the year, the addition of more participating art districts, 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. 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.
