In this year’s Mix ‘n’ Mash, Mexic-Arte invited artists to honor the musicians and performers who have made a lasting impact. The exhibition features work by more than 200 local and regional artists, each created on high-quality panels generously donated by Ampersand Art Supply.
The artworks celebrate the people behind the sound—legendary figures, emerging artists, and local musicians whose voices, styles, and stories continue to shape culture. Spanning genres, traditions, and generations from around the world, the exhibition reflects music’s universal influence.
Through realism, abstraction, symbolism, and reinterpretation, artists capture the energy of performance, the intimacy of creation, and the qualities that make these musicians unforgettable. Together, these works highlight the power of music and the individuals who continue to shape how we listen, feel, and connect.

Mix ‘n’ Mash
Mix’n’Mash is derived from the terms “mix-and-match” (to combine elements harmoniously and interestingly) and “mash-up” (a work that blends two or more songs or pieces of art from different genres); Mix ‘n’ Mash is an original concept by Mexic-Arte Museum, which refers not only to the mashing of genres into one work of art, but also to the mixing of work by various artists to create a unique collector’s set.
The art sale increases awareness about the community’s visual arts and art collecting, provides funding for the museum’s exhibitions, supports educational programming for children and adults, and sustains upkeep and care of the permanent collection. Artworks may also be purchased through the museum’s Online Store.
