Barrio Logan / East Village Arts District (BL/EV)
Barrio Logan East Village Arts District (BL/EV) exists to create and fund a district dedicated to making art and nurturing artists and thereby provide work and economic opportunity. Under the leadership of Mario Torero, an art center, called La Bodega, has been established which reaches out to neighborhood children to learn art and participate in creating community murals in Barrio Logan. It also has provided a small but intimate venue for community activities and performances. Logan Avenue has been adopted to be part of an arts beautification process. Torero has also established an art school, La Bogeda, at which neighborhood children learn how to paint.

Arts Education
Synergy Art Foundation collaborates with local organizations to provide and promote arts education to children and youth and to pioneer new arts educational programs that may combine two or three disciplines, such as the arts and nature, art and environment, art and science.
Classics 4 Kids

Synergy Art Foundation retained two professional art instructors to conduct visual arts workshops with multiple local school children. The focus of the program was Impressionism culminating in a classical music performance reaching over 1000 students.

Community Arts Programs
Synergy Art Foundation partners with local communities to undertake meaningful community art projects not only to beautify our towns but also to strengthen and build our communities.
Legacies
Arts collaborations with elders and youth in Solana Beach. 

Solana Beach Coastal Rail Trail Public Art
Local artist, Betsy Schultz, was commissioned to create a public artwork for the City of Solana Beach's Rail Trail project. The Rail Trail was designed and executed by Glen Schmidt's landscape archictural firm. Betsy has designed a gateway to the trail comprising two arches. Synergy Art Foundation contributed to the lighting of the artwork, a vital component to any public artwork to be seen at night.

International Art Projects
Zimbabwe Aids Orphans Art Project
Synergy Art Foundation has partnered with Umzingwane Aids Network in Zimbabwe to provide visual arts workshops for Aids orphans. Tama Dumlao, a local artist, has taken the Aids orphans' artwork to a new level by integrating it into unique, artistic but functional tote bags.
