Promoting East Harlem's Artistic Talents

 

Sadly our beautiful exhibit of Puertorican artist Samuel Lind's work is coming to a close, 

but Sinergia is looking for more talented artists in our community to showcase their art in our gallery space.

If you or someone you know would like to be considered for an exhibit, 

please join our Facebook page and submit pictures of your artwork with your contact info on our Event page or on the wall.

We'll be accepting submissions until Friday, July 16th.
