A little late but just in time...but just wanted to say that today, Wednesday, November 30th, The Art of Brownsville celebrates its 2nd birthday! Yay! Two years...wow! Who knew it would come this far? Usually, blogs and consistency are not the best pair of qualities, so I am happy to say the this blog has kept up. I am also happy to have Lucy and Al on team and to have more responses from the community. I heard the attendance to Stunning Strokes was wonderful (I was in Mexico City) and I hope that you all may join us again on December 16th for the 2nd reception. The Herald also covered the exhibition in their Friday edition. Many thanks go out to The Herald for coverage and support they have given to the blog these past months! Many wonderful things have occurred and will continue to escalate! My wish for the next year is for the blog to help foster more development in the Brownsville art community through unity and collaboration and to also look to and support our neighbors in Matamoros, Reynosa and all over the Valley! We are sitting on a well-spring of cultural and artistic wealth and inspiration! It just needs to be tapped! There is so much potential for local culture and art to be developed in a major tourist and entertainment industry through which we can substantially improve our quality of life. So like fellow Art of Brownsville blogger Al Garza Jr. said, "Let's work on it! Get inspired!"

I am very Thankful to Mayra for letting us participate in the blog. Together we share, inform, post our experiences and events that are happening in the art world of the Rio Grande Valley. Mayra's vision of the future art involvement in Brownsville is very solid and it's something that we share. That is why she created this blog to unite the art community in South Texas, especially in Brownsville. Happy Birthday to the Art of Brownsville Blog and Congratulations to Mayra!
Congratulations on The Art of Brownsville Blog two year success. As a Brownsville Artist I thank you and all the supporters that have made it what it is, "a true voice of the Brownsville Art Scene".
