Art Exhibit & Dia de los Muertos Altar

Dia altar close up 2013

Opening during Gallery Walk on Friday November 7, 5:00 PM

On view through November 24th

In collaboration with River Gallery School of Art, we held a series of workshops in September for clients, volunteers and the public to explore topics of significance to them through word and image.  The art of workshop participants will be on display in the Gallery, along with a special Day of the Dead Community Altar. The art and altar will be exhibited until November 24th.

Dia de los Muertos is a beautiful tradition originating in Mexico and Latin America.  There are many celebrations in the Southwestern US as well.  To learn more about the holiday, go to this page at National Geographic:
