## About

A Día de los Muertos ofrenda created by Mexican Folk Art Collective artists Gabriela Marván and Yesica Coria. Visitors learn about the altar's traditional elements and can honor a loved one by writing their name on a tissue-paper marigold and adding it to the display, a gentle, hands-on way for children to take part in the tradition. Drop in during the posted hours through November 1.
