The Art of Remembrance: Dia de los Muertos
October 30 - November 14, 2021
Reception: Friday, November 5, 5:00 - 7:00 PM
Whether the Day of the Dead is already part of your family tradition or inspires you to start new ones, all are welcome to pay tribute to a loved one by adding their name to the community altar.
Learn about the tradition of La Ofrenda, the altar and Tapetes, a colorful artwork made on the ground with Maria Shahid of Diario Sabias Que.
Decorate a Calavera de Azúcar, a sugar skull or make a Papel Picado, a cut paper banner.
Live music by the Trinity Accordion Band!
