ART BY DEFINITION

There is certainly art everywhere, being produce at all levels, all over the United States. If you divide the US by regions where art is being produce, you can determine certain influences and styles, whether it is the landscape, the culture, the history, the people, even the climate that inspires the art. Its interesting to see how these factors influences or effects the art of each artist.
In some perspective I think local art, in interpretation may be misunderstood by some degree, perhaps with the ideology of Chicano Art. Visually they may carry the same tone but, in the overall aspect, local art has been more influenced by the region in specific border issues, and the merge of two cultures, and not necessarily by the struggles in the Chicano movements that drove the influences in Chicano Art throughout America.
Perhaps it must be classified for what it is "Border Art" making those who practice it "Border Artists". gt
