Día de Muertos: Chalk Art in Abbott Square
Join a re-imagined Día de Muertos celebration with month-long opportunities to come together and remember those we have lost. Check out the full list of happenings here on our blog.
This year, in collaboration with our core partners and teachers of Senderos, the MAH will continue to hold a gathering space for all to share their stories, celebrate community, and mourn – safely. We're bringing the many offerings of our annual festival online and outdoors.
On October 21st, chalk artists are taking over our public plaza, Abbott Square. Stop by to watch them transform the concrete into dazzling works of art. The art will be on view through November 2nd. Stay tuned for artist spotlights and more information.
