About ArtSynergies

ArtSynergies: The power of sharing

Art is a solitary business. Besides the passion to create, being an artist requires training, experience, and skills of entrepreneurship. When a group of artists works well together, it can accomplish more than one artist working alone. Benefits of collaboration include the exchanging of techniques, group discussions of art in progress, and the division of work when planning exhibitions. When creative people work together, there may be varying perspectives, shifts in thinking, and opposing points of view. Each member is encouraged to learn new skills, and to try out different forms of art in a non-competitive atmosphere of mutual encouragement.


Today’s digital tools achieve results that would be nearly impossible to accomplish by conventional artistic techniques. The computer is an interactive partner for many artists. We explore the potential of alternative image-making in combination with photography, painting, printmaking, and three-dimensional work. Overall control of the creative process remains in the artists’ hands—in varying depths of engagement with the computer and classic disciplines.
