RESEARCH & ARTS ADVOCACY
Who is Mario
I’m Mario Mesquita, a public art project manager, educator, and artist based in Portland, Oregon. I lead art commissions and education programs, and make participatory projects like Paletas Communal Social Club, where a paleta is an invitation to stop and talk. Here you’ll find the projects I lead and the art I make.
