| About Our Name Bohemia is the Latin name for the Czech region of
the former Czechoslovakia, birthplace of the founder and artistic
director of The Traveling Bohemians! During the Czech national revival
in the 1700's the artists, musicians, writers, composers, and artisans who flourished in this region became known as "the Bohemians", and thus the terms "artist" and "bohemian" became somewhat synonymous. |
