Synergy 2 Exhibit Goes International |
In the last newsletter we told you about the Synergy2 Exhibit and its focus on connecting and collaboration, with at least 55 artists accepting an invitation to exhibit.
We are pleased to announce that the Exhibit now includes representation from seven countries, including Russia, Spain, France, Great Britain, Germany, Canada, and Thailand!
Don't forget, each piece in the Exhibit will be online to view and purchase at least one month prior to the start of Synergy 2. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the IPCA as well as sales from a Color Catalog of the entries compiled by Cynthia Tinapple. |
