Día de los Muertos 2020
Our Past and Present
Given these uncertain times, the Firehouse wanted to create an exhibit to serve as an opportunity for those who desire to learn about, re-acquaint themselves, and/or profoundly engage with one of the most devotional celebrations for the continuous cycle of life.
Día de los Muertos 2020, curated by Grace Gutierrez, will showcase the work of Adrian Raya, Cal Duran, Javier Flores and Ramon Trujillo. At the heart of this exhibit are their meticulously crafted altars. Their ofrendas address local events of historical significance, chronicling the relationship between faith, family, history and culture, while promoting reflection on how history can guide us through this trying year.
Exhibition Opening & Celebration
Beginning with a Day of the Dead Invocation led by Grupo Azteca Tlahuitzcalli, the 2nd Friday opening will offer an in person celebration as well as an online livestream event. We invite you to join us, meet our artists, and to bid on our Catrina Painting Auction.
These Catrina Paintings were created by your local community and will support the Firehouse Art Centers programs, exhibits and events! The Catrina Painting Auction will end at 10pm. Admission is free and we will have timed tickets to ensure safe social distancing.
