MAY 4th - 24th, 2024
The Hutchinson Art Center is also excited to feature the work of local artist Ariana Mixon for the month of April.
Ariana is an ambitious and driven individual, especially when it comes to her artistic pursuits. She was in the International Baccalaureate (I.B.) Visual Arts program during her time as a student at Hutchinson High School and has an Associate’s degree from Hutchinson Community College. She plans to attend Wichita State University later this year. She is very involved in her local arts community and has participated in the Hutchinson Art Fair, Third Thursday, and many other events.
Ariana likes to create art that delves into the macabre, dark, and unknown. She does this through her acrylic paintings mostly focusing on portraits. She states that she “feel[s] when someone looks at [her] painting and genuinely feels uncomfortable enough where they want to look away, the painting has done its job. There is something special about keeping someone's attention.” She believes that her art is all about making someone feel
something and wants people to really sit with the uncomfortable feeling and think about why it affects them that way.
More of Ariana’s work can be viewed online at arianamixon.art.
This exhibition is on display in our Front Gallery from April 4th - 24th, 2024.
