Texas Arts and Music Festival

Texas Arts and Music Festival will feature Art Dual

The Texas Arts and Music Festival will be held in downtown Brenham, TX. on October 15 and 16 and will feature an Art Dual where artists will compete against one another for a cash prize.  Luis Angulo of Something Cool Studios in Austin, TX. will be busing in artists from all over the state to participate. Artists will be voted on by festival attendees in a round robin style tournament. Each artist will be painting an 8 by 8 foot size canvas, and the collection on display will be updated by the hour.  “The art dual brings in a fun element of live street art where visitors can participate and determine which artist moves forward to the next round,” said Brooke Trahan, Texas Arts and Music Festival Art Director.  “New artists go head to head every hour and create stunning artworks live while interacting with the audience. It is something you have to enjoy live and will not want to miss.”  The finalist will compete and determine a winner just before the main stage music starts. Featured bands on Saturday, October 15 include Payton Howie and the Brodie Lane Band and on Sunday, October 16 rising star, Kane Alvarado, with his blues and rock set from noon to 1pm.  Texas Arts and Music Festival is a local non-profit organization dedicated to providing a first class event for art and music lovers, and raising money for local art programs. The festival has provided support to art programs in Brenham, Burton, and Sealy.
