4:30 - 6:00
Celebrate what's precious in your life by creating a small nicho, or shrine, inspired by the artist Amalia Mesa-Baines. Many cultures have traditional forms of spirituality including home altars honoring the family and life events. Use mixed media to craft a small shrine that highlights special objects by foregrounding them in the box. Pay tribute to someone who is important in your life for Dias de Los Muertos or honor a specific life event or moment in time.
Please bring your own mementos, artwork, natural objects or other items you would like to include in the nicho. All ages welcome. Space limited. Reservations required. Starting October 1st. Call 415-355-2898
