Paint by numbers makes a comeback in during the A&E District of the City of West Palm Beach

A.T.B is happy to present the second Painting by Numbers hosted this year in the Downtown City of West Palm Beach after much demand for it to make a comeback.

The concept of Painting by Numbers  is a borrowed concept from the Atlanta's Paint by Numbers. The first time we got to do this was in Northwood in 2009. The new concept is, eight local professional artists design a visual concept working alongside student artists.

 The professional artists will show their interpretations of West Palm Beach on to a 16'x8' canvas for the community to come together and paint, bringing that reflection to life.

This event is sponsored by the City of West Palm Beach Art In Public Places and the West Palm Beach Arts & Entertainment District (A&E District). The project is developed and facilitated by A.T.B. Fine Artists & Designers LLC. Music will be provided by Smooth Bounce Entertainment The event will be held on the 400 block of Clematis Street in front of the Mandel Public Library.

Artists include: 
Amanda Valdes
Anthony Burks Sr.
Caron Bowman 
David German 
Erick Marquez 
Johnol Jones 
Rolando Chang Barrero 
Steve Marino

Join the artists and the citizens of the City of WPB and paint. November 15, 2014 11:30am-6pm. And if you really want to be impressive and have strong large scale drawing skills, be there at 9am to help .

Artist: Erick Marquez

First Artists Lunch & Lecture-Big Success.


The session was hosted by Trina Slade-Burks, CEO and president of the 21-year business, which specializes in “all things art” from education to art sales to art execution. 

 Speaker CEO/Founder Karen Alleyne-Means of Herlife Magazine discussed the importance of art in the Palm Beach County where as attorney Sabine Millien-Felix Partner at the Law firm of Millien LeBlanc & Simpson discussed legal contracts with galleries. Some of the other topics included grant opportunities and how to get the “starving artist” mindset out of the artists’ livelihood. 

 All in attendance agreed that the event was very informative. You can read how the development of this series got started on the Rickie Report.

ART SYNERGY Palm Beach County: COMING SOON

ART SYNERGY is a countywide movement to unify and promote the diverse culture of our vibrant arts community.
In early 2013 with the help (and at the urging of) nationally known artist / activist Frank Batista; Craig McInnis and Rolando Barrero (local artists and activists themselves) created a THINK TANK. Dedicated to finding solutions instead of dwelling on problems, the THINK TANK was a forum for local artists of all kinds to come together and discuss ideas to help the local scene grow.
The first initiative Rolando and Craig wanted to tackle was a program of events to coincide with Art Palm Beach; in hopes that the local scene could benefit from the popular art event much like Miami has benefitted from Art Basel. Soon it was named ART SYNERGY and took shape.
As of October 2013 it includes 4 art districts, Boynton Beach (Art Al Fresco / BBAD) Lake Worth (LULA) / West Palm Beach (CONTINUUM) and Northwood Village (Art Walk). These 4 locations will feature works by artists from all over Palm Beach County during the week of Art Palm Beach (January 23-27, 2014).
ART SYNERGY’s future goals include events that will happen periodically throughout the year, the addition of more participating art districts, and 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 Depts. / 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.
