Locally Imported & Exported Art

Some people are raised on the Emerald Coast and then leave, some people grow up in other places and then move here, some people never leave the state, and then others travel and return.  All these environments help shape the art & culture in our area.  Exporting our musics and business to foreign regions while importing their lifestyles and media back to our homeland serves both parties, in both directions.  The video above was created from an individual (Luke Bessey) who has moved out of the region, yet makes his work still accessible via the Net.

The local artist above (Ryan Ivy) serves as an example of travel and return.  Surf travelers of the region make their way around the world.  Since the surf consistency lacks in the area, many pay to live and experience places where the waves are first class. 
The Web allows people to connect for the first time, disconnect for the last time, or reconnect a time again.  Cultures thrive when the trading of information is done correctly.  The artist above has dedicated an entire blog to his creations. (www.charlesvincentisspeechless.blogspot.com)
When dreams and work are put together, ideas can become tangible.  With technology becoming more accessible and cheaper, things that were only once possible in Hollywood can now be done at home.  Above displays an example of local music and art from Nothing Short of Pure.
