The Indianapolis Art Center is looking for community members – schools, artists, community centers – to create and exhibit large scale altars for the 11th Annual El Dia de los Muertos Altar Exhibition, October 8 through November 28, 2010.
2009 Day of the Dead Altar
El Dia De Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a traditional Mexican family holiday when people build altars to try to attract their deceased loved ones back for a day. Altars are a celebration of love and life, and are generally adorned with the loved one’s favorite items, food, toys, and photos. In order to be considered for inclusion, please complete and return your proposal to the Indianapolis Art Center by September 3, 2010.
