(A FREE Digital Dance Party) 
Friday, June 5, 2020, 8:00–9:00 p.m. 

After months of sheltering in place at home, MIX is back . . . virtually! Dance your way into spring and join us for MIX: Bloom, featuring a live DJ set from JonDoeTho1 (pop, hip-hop, soul, and future beats) alongside remixed animated visuals of florals from the CMA’s collection by motion graphics artist Jessica Williams. Create a MIX vibe at home by donning floral prints, a flower crown, or by adding fresh-cut flowers to your space. We miss seeing you at MIX, so please share photos of your MIX vibe to #MIXatCMA and #MuseumFromHome! 

MIX: Bloom is part of the museum’s free dynamic digital initiative, Home Is Where the Art Is, that showcases its globally recognized digital resources and features a variety of newly created fun and engaging programs for people of all ages.
