From McGuffey Art Center's Website:
Join us for our 15th Annual Día de Muertos Celebration, a time to come together to honor and remember our ancestors and loved ones who have passed.
For 15 years, we have created community altars filled with photographs, flowers, candles, favorite foods, and meaningful objects that help us remember those we love. Through art, music, dance, food, and remembrance, we celebrate the lives and stories that continue to be part of our community.
This year, McGuffey will also host Hostile Terrain 94, an installation that remembers migrants who have died crossing the Sonoran Desert. The exhibit invites us to reflect on the lives and journeys behind each name.
The exhibition will be open for viewing November 6–14, with an Opening Celebration on November 6 from 5:30–8:00 PM, featuring live performances, an open mic, food, artisan vendors, and community altars.
Community craft sessions: October 4 & 18th in Studio 11.
