Hispanic Museum of Nevada presents "Mix It Up"

The Hispanic Museum of Nevada – El Museo Hispano de Nevada presents MIX it UP an exhibition featuring local and regional artists.

The MIX it UP exhibit will feature the works of diverse artists such as Hector Silva, Michael Vasquez, Alexander Huerta, Vezun, Dray Wilmore, and K.D. Matheson.

Inspired by the idea of focusing on the ‘primal forces of human instinct’ Curator Brian Paco Alvarez chose these featured artists for their own unique styles of expression from the urban to the classic.

Focusing on themes such as Culture, History, Time, and Art each artist has been inspired to create pieces reflective of their own individual experience, as well as to portray the experiences of those around them. The dramatic and colorful murals created by Alexander Huerta, Vezun, Dray Wilmore and K.D. Matheson offer insights and pathways into the larger, more global conversations of culture, and identity among Hispanics and all cultures.

It will be on view at The Hispanic Museum of Nevada, located at Embarq Corporate Offices, 330 S. Valley View Blvd., through August 21. An opening reception will be held on May 21 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

 

This exhibit is made possible through the generous support of Embarq.
