About

Mixi
Art
Studio

A collective laboratory for transdisciplinary artistic exploration, dedicated to strengthening artists as influential creators in the contemporary art ecosystem. Founded in Salt Lake City, 2022.

The Studio

Mixi Art Studio was founded in 2022 by artists Yuri Ortiz and Bryan Vigil, who dreamed of creating a public space to exhibit and preserve their growing collection of contemporary art.

Located in Salt Lake City, Utah, Mixi is an exhibition space where we exchange experiences to connect the global art scene — especially the Latin American one — with local art and North American practices.

Our approach bridges disciplines to create convergences, aiming to strengthen artists' positions as influential creators in the current landscape. We engage in dialogue, mutually enrich, innovate, foster collaboration, and rethink solutions to complex challenges.
