MIXT: A Living Gallery
MIXT: A Living Gallery is a community creation event. Each venue is transformed into an interactive and immersive environment where artists and audiences work together to cultivate a creative celebration of our diversity and find the common ground on which we all intersect. Artists, hobbyists, and humans of all disciplines and experience levels are invited to submit or perform their original works to be included in the curation of “A Living Gallery.” Poets, Dancers, Painters, Musicians, Actors, Writers, Feelers, Viewers and Listeners will all come together through in-person performances as well as prerecorded audio and visual elements to create a completely unique and temporary creative landscape, exploring a single theme.
MIXT is an annual production for The Why Collective, and often features excerpts from our projects in development!
