CALL FOR ALTARS
Install: November 5-8, during gallery hours 12:00 - 4:00pm
In the spirit of El Dia de los Muertos ofrendas, artists and community members create altars that remember those that have passed and recognize life-saving organizations that serve the community.
Ofrendas are altars that leave offerings to entice the spirits back for a visit from the spirit world. The elements of the ofrenda stem from the idea of celebration of death in life. Each element and level have significance that you can read about here. You are invited to create altar with a community minded theme. For example, if you want to remember your aunt, your altar could be dedicated to families. Your aunt's picture can be displayed on a shelf with ofrendas or offerings of things that she loved, like foods, drinks, flowers, incense, stones, etc. On the wall label, a local or national social services organization that relates to your loved ones interests can be dedicated their honor.
To reserve a 10 ft. tall x 4 ft. wide wall space, please email gallerydirectorcac@gmail.com, subject: Reserve an Altar Space
Take Down Altars: Saturday - Sunday, December 7-8, from Noon-4:00pm
