Centro Cultural Aztlan is pleased to continue the tradition in presenting its 48th annual Día de los Muertos with a dual exhibition. In Galeria Expresión I we are featuring “Altares y Ofrendas Exhibit”, our annual exhibit featuring altares by:
Phillip Andrade & Diana Martinez, Bianca Arguellez Garcia, Nanette Freyre & Marcie Trevino Ripper, Rita Maria Contreras & Lucille Briseño Morales, Manola & Maria Ramirez, Frances Herrera & Ray Tizoc Martinez, Valerie Ramos Chagolla, Jacquelyn Salgado, and Michele Carr with Mount Sacred Heart Catholic School.
This event illustrates the artistic, cultural, and religious facets of this popular pre-Columbian Mexican tradition where death is seen as a natural part of life and this reality is approached with humor a celebration of life. Photographs of our dearly departed grace altars as well as offerings of food, marigolds, incense, candles, and other traditional offerings.
In the Alice Kleberg Raynolds Gallery we are featuring handpainted Dia de los Muertos dresses and costumes by Edna Lugo.
Join us for a fantastic tour of cultural traditions, history and artistic celebrations on Sunday, November 2, 2025, from 12-6pm. In addition to the exhibitions, participants will be able to enjoy our annual Avenida de los Muertos Arts and Crafts mercadito, live music by Network for Young Artists, student altars by St. Anthony High School Spanish Class, pan de muerto y mas!
This exhibit is free and open to the public and will be on display until November 13th, 2025.
