Art Synergy, happening during Art Palm Beach each January, is now bringing the work of local artists to the attention of artlovers from across the globe, thanks to the efforts of two artists with a vision.

Season One debuted in January 2014. It was wildly successful, and is now going into Season Two. Art Synergy 2014 included six art districts throughout Palm Beach County, and gained the full support of David and Lee Ann Lester, cofounders of Art Palm Beach and the American International Fine Art Fair, who provided booth space within the Convention Center at both fairs.

They also gained the support of The City of Boynton Beach Art in Public Places, The Society of the Four Arts, various mayor's offices, local CRA's and West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA) . The second year is being planned now, and promises to be even more successful.
