Gary Hobbs’ rise among Tejano music’s elite performers has taken years of determination. Gary’s history of hit records, gold and platinum awards, industry achievements, humanitarian contributions and hard work are legendary.
Gary was raised in Eagle Pass, Texas along the Texas border and Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico. This gave him a unique upbringing in listening to both Spanish and English radio that translated to a great tradition of excellent music with his very own style which makes him one of the most versatile singers in the Tejano Music Industry. His non-stop touring, recording and dedication to the Tejano Industry have earned him the love and respect of his family, friends and supporters.
Gary Hobbs started his Tejano Music career in 1983. Throughout his career he has recorded for Hacienda Records, RCA International, CBS International, Capitol Records, EMI Latin and Sony Discos. In 2001 Gary Hobbs went independent on all his new recordings. Throughout the years Gary Hobbs has won numerous Music Awards from the different Award Shows while amassing hits such as “Las Miradas”, “Amame y Bésame”, “Te Vas A Acordar” and “Por Favor Corazón” to name a few songs while charting Billboards Latin top list of songs and receiving 6 BMI Awards.
To us, the perfect day is spent exploring and experiencing all kinds of art. That’s the idea behind AMA Art Hop! On our event calendar and in our social media, if you see an AMA Art Hop event listing, that means it’s taking place outside of the museum and is being organized by a cultural partner, school/university, or professional visual arts venue or space in or near Arlington. We love to share information about other visual arts exhibitions and festivals that are taking place in our area so you can discover them, too!
We’ve also been on the hunt for a directory of all the public art in Arlington. While these lists on their own may not be comprehensive, together they paint a great picture (see what we did there?) of how active our city’s public art scene has become:
Art in Public Spaces: arlingtontx.gov/residents/about_arlington/public_art
