Head on down to the 2021 Texas Arts & Music Festival (TAMF) in Downtown Brenham this weekend, Oct. 16-17. TAMF is a non-profit organization working to present a wide range of Texas arts and music by simultaneously showcasing Texas artists and musicians at various forums throughout the city of Brenham. Profits from TAMF will be directed to educational resources that support arts and music in the state of Texas.
Featured Artist: Levi Ponce
Levi works with traditional and digital media to develop large-scale graphics and artwork for clients like Activision, AT&T, Sony, Toyota, 23 and Me, Dunkin' Donuts, iHeartRadio, Modelo, Mun2, and many others.
Born to a sign maker and seamstress, Levi has been studying art and form since childhood. After earning a B.A. in 3D Animation, Levi began painting and organizing the creation of murals. These murals go beyond paint — they are community projects that bring together a wide range of artists, business owners, and youth. Together, they transform defaced city walls into works of art for both locals and visitors to enjoy.
