Mix ‘N Mash: Lotería! (December 5, 14-January 4, 15)
Mix 'n' Mash is a group exhibition and art sale
featuring original works of art created by local,
national, and international artists for sale. The theme
for this year is the Lotería card game. Lotería, a
game of chance similar to Bingo, is played with a set
of 54 images printed on a deck of cards. As each
card is pulled from the deck, a “caller” cries out a
rhyme or riddle that corresponds to each particular
image. The more quickly one can identify each icon
based on its respective riddle the more successful a
player he or she will be.
