From Mexic-Arte Museum:
“Mexic-Arte Museum is pleased to announce a call for entries for our annual Mix ‘n’ Mash: Celebrate Austin! Art Sale, which will open on Friday, February 2, 2024.
This year’s theme is Celebrating Austin! This group exhibition, a selection of artworks (previously known as Mix ‘n’ Mash) explores the theme of Austin from over 200 artists created on quality panels donated by Ampersand Art Supply. Mix ‘n’ Mash: Celebrating Austin will be on view from February 2, 2024- March 3, 2024.
The art sale not only increases awareness about the visual arts and art collecting in the community, but also provides funding for the Museum’s exhibitions, supports educational programming for children and adults, and sustains upkeep and care of the permanent collection; this year’s theme is Celebrating Austin!
Theme: Celebrating Austin!
Austin is the political and historical center of Texas. It is the home to people the world over, coming to participate in its politics, enjoy the beauty of its surrounding hill country, feast on the cuisine that abounds from it, and revel in the live music for which it is famous, among other things. This year Mexic-Arte celebrates the large and small of what makes Austin weird, interesting, timeless, and robust. Austin, home to people from all over the world and the state capital continues to inspire those that come to visit and live here. Mexic-Arte Museum, which has called Austin home for nearly 40 years invites its community to celebrate all things Austin with this year’s Mix ‘n’ Mash exhibition.
