SOUTH PASADENA, CA.-The Chouinard School of Art is pleased to present Mix, a group show curated by Ed Flynn and Laddie John Dill. Mix features work by nine Southern California artists, all of whom are currently students at Chouinard under the tutelage of artist Ed Flynn.

With its inception in Flynn's dialogue class, Mix organically grew out of the teacher working directly with every student, guiding and nurturing each one's vision, and culminating in what you see before you. Much like the communities in which we live, Mix brings together various styles, aesthetics, and ideas without compromising individual integrity and always with the ultimate purpose of achieving unique self-expression and the capacity to share this with others. Each of these artists were committed to developing their work to new levels. The Chouinard School of Art provided this opportunity through the Dialogue Class and it evolved into this group show.

Laddie John Dill and Ed Flynn both attended the original Chouinard Art School in downtown Los Angeles during the mid sixties. Both artists are members of the Chouinard School's Advisory Board in South Pasadena.
