The Dallas Arts & Culture Weekly Review

Throughout history, societies and communities that embraced the arts often found themselves at the forefront of social and political change – decades ahead of those that have discouraged or diminished the role of the arts in their societies.  Our rich history of social and political progress is due in no small part to the active and courageous artistic community that calls DFW home. We hope that by highlighting the rising stars of our local art community on a weekly basis, we can help increase our community’s engagement with local art and the artists that devote their life to moving society forward.

Yesterday we recorded harmonies on the EP. ✨ • • This whole music journey has been teaching me so much about the industry, the creativity, the process of recording, and the rollercoaster of emotions that come with all of that. Its a beautiful thing to finally see what you’ve been working on come to fruition. 😌🤟🏼 • • • • • • • • #dallasmusician #dfwartist #ep #localmusicians #dallaslocalartist #dbu #recordingstudio #singer #dallassingers

#Repost @voyagedallas_kristen with @get_repost ・・・ I’ve always had a resistance to doing just one thing with my life. There’s just so many interesting things out there! My experiences as a teacher in Austin, a barista in the Pacific Northwest, a digital art director, a co-host of Dallas Creative Mornings, and becoming a mother – all led me to… balloons! In all my positions, I found a passion for celebrating the people around me. In the Air provides an opportunity to spread joy, making people feel recognized and appreciated.

This past weekend owes me nothing. Before I was ever able to set up I was offered beer which I couldn’t refuse. The weather was perfect and the crowd fed me energy through the evening. There were many memories captured and I wouldn’t turn down the time spent for anything. Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Peters for the opportunity to play music. #weddingday #weddingdj #weddingphotography #weddingplanning #weddingblog #dallasdj #djblogger #djlife🎧
