I thought maybe if I had an "artist of the month" it would ensure that I actually went to a museum each month or to an art gallery or to hear live music. There's SO much here in Austin that I don't take advantage of...well, I'm going to see if I can change that!

Can't wait to see what new artist (or new-to-me artist) I discover next month...suggestions are always welcome! But for now I'll continue to enjoy the colors and vision of Angie Renfro.
