Folk Art: Mexican Day of the Dead

Please join us in the courtyard for Folk Art: Day of the Dead (El Dia de los Muertos).

Experience the most recognizable Mexican cultural event “the Day of the Dead” in which passed loved ones are remembered with joy and celebration. Renowned artist Zafiro Romero-Acevedo returns to the Pelham Art Center to share the history of one of Mexico’s richest cultural traditions.

We will have a live performance by Mariachi Artístico, free children’s workshops, and cultural items made in Mexico available for purchase.

In participation, we welcomed our community to bring one memento of their passed loved ones (including four legged friends), along with their name and contact information, to the office. We will handle them with care and respectfully place them on the Ofrenda which will be displayed at the art center’s windowsill.

Please note: Do not bring anything valuable (just their most simple items: their favorite tea cup, a coffee mug, their favorite book, or even a photo of them. For our four legged friends you can bring a photograph, their favorite stuffed toy, or their collar/tag).
