Community Art Day: Calavera Collage Inspired by Day of the Dead!
Saturday, November 13 | 10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. | Free and open to all
The Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is celebrated in early November. In the NEHMA lobby, we have an
ofrenda—an altar in memory of the deceased filled with photos, memorabilia, their
favorite foods and drinks—as well as photographs of celebrations in Mexico by USU
professor J.P. Spicer-Escalante.
Also, currently on view in our Study Center, we have a series of photographs by Celia Alvarez Muñoz which each feature a different ofrenda-like arrangement of clothing, religious objects,
and calaveras (the highly decorative skulls associated with Día de los Muertos celebrations).
Come make your own calavera collage inspired by the Day of the Dead! Also take a look at our beautiful ofrenda and the
striking photography in the lobby and Study Center.
Light refreshments will be served!
All materials provided. Face masks strongly encouraged. Thank you!
