Born and raised in Athens, Marisa Mustard has been making art for decades. Much of the inspiration for her colorful artwork comes from how she was raised and the Classic City itself. The city of Athens is her canvas as she paints on objects such as mailboxes and walls around town. This makes her art an incredibly immersive experience and one that cannot be missed, literally. Her murals can be seen at establishments such as Collective Harvest, Rabbit Hole Studios, Nuçi’s Space, Paloma Park and more. Inspired by her father, Charlie Mustard of the Jittery Joe’s Roaster, she gained the courage to take her art career full-time when she was pregnant with her daughter. Tonight’s event will showcase Mustard’s artwork created during the Graduate Sweet Dreams Society, a nationwide artist-in-residence program that provides studio space and other resources to artists. Entitled “Through It All,” her interactive art show will convey her love for the cross-section of art and music through show posters, paintings completed during live concerts, and wood cutouts of musicians.
