Desert environments have inspired great philosophers, poets, artists and dreamers of every description. The Chihuahuan Desert, that the Big Bend region is a part of, is no exception. Once described as a dusty bohemia, the greater Terlingua area enjoys an abundance of resident musicians, painters, sculptors, photographers, lapidarists, ceramicists and talented actors.

The Terlingua music scene is lively for such a remote location. Local dance bands travel around the state and in some cases the world, to play their unique Big Bend, West Texas music. A local theatre group produces 2 plays each year that are of surprising quality. La Kiva Bar and Grill has hosted "open mike" each Wednesday night for many years.
Search by location for shops and galleries that feature mostly work by local artists.
