Local Art Scene, now the land of opportunity

Ever hear the old saying, "well you have to leave the valley to get recognized as an artist"? Is that actually true and to what extent? Brownsville and the rest of the RGV now has several museums, galleries, festivals, organizations and media that support the arts (see TAOB links and calender). Why would any artist want to go anywhere else? It is now up to the artists to take advantage of the resources Brownsville and the rest of RGV has to offer.

Musicians, not to be set apart from visual artists, from garage band acts to Classical or Conjuto, also now have a variety of bars, nightclubs and festivals to play or perform their music. Musicians should feel welcomed to play at art exhibitions. The mixture of music and art is the best combination you can possibly have.

Get started. Now artists also have the power of the mighty Blog and My Space. Artists can simply load there artwork into these cyber spaces and make their artwork available to the Brownsville Local Art scene and to the rest of the world. Visit one of our two Brownsville's' public libraries in case you don't have access to the Internet..

Ever hear the old saying, "el que no ariesga no gana"?
