San Diego Synergy Arts Network is a gift to our community. The level of commitment and consistent coverage of arts and culture events is one of the best I've witnessed in large metropolitan areas. The organization hosts and promotes a number of collaborative efforts among both profit and nonprofit agencies, and has a web platform of art resources which help our city thrive. The volunteer opportunities are abundant and the public exposure and economic benefits resulting from this network are at the heart of 'synergy'. This is the 21st century nonprofit to watch. Coordinator Patricia Frischer and her stable of devoted followers always make it happen. --Thomine Wilson, Art West Agency/Employee Arts Program
