About this Event

Get ready for another amazing Dia de Los Muertos celebration with Attack Bear Press and Wistariahurst Museum with a special calaveras (skull) painting event. Dia de Los Muertos is a special tradition that allows people to celebrate and remember deceased loved ones by decorating an ofrenda, a communal altar dedicated to those dearly departed. On October 27th, we invite you to paint your clay calaveras to add to the annual ofrenda hosted at the museum again this year. Thanks to Attack Bear Press, all painting materials and calaveras will be provided at the event. You may also bring a photograph of your departed loved ones to not only add a personal touch to your artwork but so that the community can honor and remember them as well. After Dia de Los Muertos has passed, you are welcome to retrieve your photographs and painted skull to take home as a cherished keepsake.

Don’t miss this unique chance to connect with the rich tapestry of Dia de Los Muertos and contribute to a vibrant, communal ofrenda. We invite you to join us, and we encourage you to bring your friends and family to celebrate with all of your loved ones. Viewing for the 7th Annual Holyoke Community Ofrenda will be available for special open hours on October 31st and November 1st from 4:30 pm-6:30 pm. Wistariahurst Museum will host a talk on November 2nd at noon to discuss Dia de Los Muertos and its cultural significance. We can't wait to see the collective beauty and heartfelt tributes created by our very own community and celebrate this important holiday.
