  • Time6:00 PM to 8:30 PM

In honor of Día de los Muertos, we are thrilled to invite you to the opening night of "Desert Dream", a unique exhibition that blends the mesmerizing beauty of the desert with the rich cultural traditions of this important cultural celebration.

We will be displaying a community Ofrenda as part of our Día de los Muertos celebration. An Ofrenda is an altar offering traditionally created in honor of deceased loved ones during this important Mexican holiday.

We invite you to share the memory of a beloved person or pet by displaying their photo on our community Ofrenda. This is a chance to honor and celebrate their life with the community. Come, share stories, and participate in the celebration of their spirit.

Additionally, visit our basement space to enjoy a drink and contribute to our community mural—no artistic experience necessary! It’s a chance to connect, create, and celebrate together.
