TAOB always on the Rise!

Hello readers of TAOB, its a real honor to be allowed with the privilege of being a new contributing writer to TAOB. The local art scene is definitely on the rise. There is so many art happenings going around, listing them is already a challenge. My goal is to assist Mayra as much as I can in her efforts and contributions to the local art scene managing this great blog she has created for all of us. I feel I share the same goals and dreams like so many of you of wanting to enrich the community with a thriving art scene we all can enjoy and share.

I want to begin by reviving the interest in creative conversations in this blog by talks of our culture, critics, feed back on local artist artwork whether performing artist or visual artist, feed back on what we may need in our community to expand our art scene, share conversations with artist, if you went to an art happening share your story , tell us about what you saw, what you liked, what you didn't like,tell us if you felt the prices of the art was too high or too low or if you thought it was a fare price, tell us if you saw a musician or talked to a poet, what did you think and why,tell us about your art teacher or professor and if they have inspired you to continue in the arts, and if you are a teacher or professor in the visual or performing arts tell us what inspired you to go teach the arts, remember TAOB readers ideas may be the best contributions and or donations too. "Submit your ideas, feedback, story on comments icon below."

Here is one of my stories:
One of my inspirations in the arts is Carlos G. Gomez MFA , Artist , professor at the UTB. I was inspired by his accomplishments as an artist. Just looking at his resume for me was inspiring by setting a high standard. At first glance when I began painting I knew I had a long way to go, but yet through his accomplishments I was inspired of how far an artist can reach. Although I may never reach his level of accomplishment I have definitely been ispired to try...
