Breaking Through ⛅

SUNDAY June 12, 2022

“The artist’s vocation is to send light into the human heart.”

George Sand, French novelist

Watching the sun peek over the horizon after a long and lonely night is often breathtaking. It can fill us with hope and assurance of the day to come. The same thing can happen during a breakthrough performance. Everything falls into place and the artist’s talent fully shines though.

In Terrell native Jamie Foxx’s Oscar winning performance of Ray in 2004 — the biopic of Ray Charles — the world took notice of Foxx’s acting talent. Many actors, artists, and musicians from the Upper East Side of Texas are headed in a similar direction. Explore their stories and articles about great places to visit in County Line Magazine.

You can find events, exhibits, and shows in our calendar and Things To Do. For more inspiration check out the eMagazine for the latest stories on great things happening in the Upper East Side of Texas or read the May/June eEdition. — Lisa Tang
