We thank our dedicated sponsor Ampersand Art Supply! For over thirteen years, Ampersand has generously donated two hundred gesso boards annually to Mexic-Arte Museum’s Mix ‘n’ Mash art exhibit.
Mix ‘n’ Mash is an annual group art exhibition and sale featuring over 200 artists. The works of art featured in the exhibition are created on gesso boards. Taking place for the first time in 2009, proceeds from art sales help provide funding for Mexic-Arte’s programming.
2023 promises to be another great year, with programs for everyone! Upcoming in February is Totally Cool Totally Art, which is a student exhibition in collaboration with the Parks and Recreation Department, and Alimento para el alma / Food for the soul, the annual Mix ‘n’ Mash art exhibition and auction.
We are so grateful to you, our supporters who inspired and made accomplishments and successes in 2022 possible. Mexic-Arte Museum relies on support from the community to provide high quality exhibitions, vibrant cultural events, and inspiring education services.
Mexic-Arte would like to thank everyone who attended and helped in our annual Viva la Vida Festival and Parade in Downtown Austin. Viva la Vida was co-sponsored by the City of Austin and presented by Austin Convention Center. See you again in 2023 for our 40th year!
