Honor someone you carry with you. Paint a personal retablo and share in the beauty of Día de los Muertos. No experience needed.

What to Expect
An Afternoon of Remembrance, Creativity, and Tradition.
Who do you carry with you? Join Luminaria Art Studio for a Día de los Muertos gathering where remembrance becomes something you can make and hold.
Inspired by New Mexico’s retablo tradition, you’ll paint a personal image on wood in honor of someone, somewhere, or something that continues to guide you. Your subject can be a loved one, an ancestor, a beloved pet, or a symbol of comfort and strength. No painting experience is needed.
Through a shared tribute, stories, and time to create, we’ll explore the history of retablos and the meaning of Día de los Muertos. You’ll leave with a finished piece and a moment set aside to remember. All materials are provided.

✨1 custom stencil of a loved one (email photo reference to [email protected])
✨Wood retablo measuring 5”W × 7”H
✨Stencils for decorative elements and motifs
✨Acrylic paints, markers, and pens
✨Creative freedom to personalize your piece and make it your own
