As the saying goes in fine art, “color gets the credit, but value does the work.” Join us for an inspiring artist talk and guided gallery tour exploring how a firm grasp of core techniques unlocks complete creative freedom.
Ayana Mack will walk visitors through her vibrant, multi-layered work that evokes transformation and possibility. Learn how she fearlessly pairs exuberant, high-saturation color with mixed-media elements—including integrated poetic text—while keeping her compositions structurally grounded and deeply expressive.
Ayana's work is part of the exhibition "Creating Through It" curated by the HCA’s 2026 Curator Fellow, Jamaal Bonnette. The exhibition focuses on using creativity to express those emotions that often overwhelm us.
Ayana Mack is a Boston-based multidisciplinary artist, muralist, and creative storyteller whose work uses public art as a catalyst for healing, joy, and community connection. Her artwork creates space for reflection, affirmation, and collective care.
