Día de los Muertos Community Celebration 2021
October 31 through November 21 at the Mighty Tieton Warehouse
Visitors can see the exhibition in person during regular gallery hours on Fridays from 12 - 3 pm, Saturdays and Sundays from 11am - 3pm, and by appointment through November 21.
A Month-long celebration
Tieton Arts & Humanities celebrates this important cultural tradition by inviting Latinx families to share their culture with the larger community. The celebration is free for all participants thanks to sponsors and donors from the community.
With “to-go” craft activities for all ages, this free family friendly event offers visitors a chance for an interactive cultural experience and remembrance. The tapete (sand painting) will be in place; the ofrenda (altar) will be decorated; and la Catrina will host the virtual programming!
Fulgencio Lazo, Oaxacan artist and one of three recipients of the 2018 Conductive Garboil Grant, will return to create the tapete. His work will be joined by a traditional altar installation created by City of Redmond Poet Laureate Raúl Sánchez, and the gallery will showcase Día de los Muertos themed artwork created by talented artists from around the valley. There will even be a huge skeleton sculpture months and months in the making!
Visitors can view the exhibitions and community altar in person during regular gallery hours from October 31 - November 21. The exhibit will be open: Fridays 12 - 3 pm, Saturdays and Sundays 11 - 3 pm, and by appointment at the Mighty Tieton Warehouse: 608 Wisconsin Ave, Tieton, WA 98947.
