Cuteness Overload!:
March 27-May 2, 2025
Featuring nearly 70 works by local and area artists, the City Arts Center celebrates adorable art in all of its forms, from cuddly to creepy-cute, in its “Cuteness Overload!” exhibit.
Come preview the exhibit when we resume our extended Wednesday night hours on March 26th, from 6pm-8pm. Then enjoy the exhibit five days a week, including Saturdays, from March 27-May 2, 2025.
Some works revel in being endearing and carefree, some relate personal stories, while still others are weird-cute. Screen-printing artist Oddmean (Armin Alaniz) re-imagines Frankenstein as a sweet Valentine; mixed media artist Tracie Storie depicts Round Rock legend, The Hairy Man in an imaginary wedding to Mary Ann of Gilligan’s Island; musician-assemblage artist Jonny Pearson creates a cast of characters in 3D, including am “interdimensional disco prom queen”; and Jessica Hickman shows how abstract art can be cute too. An assortment of techniques, mediums, subject matter, and styles are included in this 2D and 3D exhibit, including, screen-printed poster art, Polaroid photography, fused glass, dioramas, fiber art, ceramics, manga, mixed media, and more!
