Matt Deifer, the founder of Funtown and an avid painter, is the featured artist at a hip/west coast style 'happenin' called Synergy.

     Matt Deifer (as himself) will be painting live and displaying some of his new work during the event this Saturday at the Lost Dog Lounge in Ithaca, NY. The organizers from Arts at the Heart have been busy in the past few weeks and managed to land four articles publicizing the party. Below is a link to the first article that came out in Tompkins Weekly. The other articles will be in Buzz Magazine, Ithaca Times, and the Ithaca Journal. If you are interested in attending this event get your tickets in advance. It looks like this 'happenin' is going to be sold out! Call 607.280.4537 for more info.
