Mexic-Arte wants your photos
Friday, August 27, 2021 by Tai Moses
The Mexic-Arte Museum is asking community members to contribute photographs to its upcoming Day of the Dead/Dia de Los Muertos ofrenda, or home altar. “By contributing a photo of a loved one or someone you admire who has passed away, you will help transform our gallery into a communal space where we can commemorate the lives of our family and friends,” says the museum’s announcement. Participants will be allotted a 12-by-12-inch space on the gallery wall to display a framed photo and a small information plaque that will be provided by the museum. The deadline to drop off photos is Sept. 13 at 5 p.m. Find more details and register to drop off photos here.
