For All Ages • Free!
Drop-Ins Welcome
Optional RSVP
Connect with your family, friends, neighbors, and ancestors through art-making and sharing of stories and memories at The Bronx Museum’s free, all-ages celebration honoring Día de Muertos!
Artist Marco Saavedra will lead an art-making activity inspired by the holiday that encourages participants to contribute to a site-specific, communal altar installation.
The artist shared this reflection on the significance of Día de Muertos: Growing up evangelical, I was incredibly comforted when I first heard in prayer “World Without End.” And this promise of deliverance from all-consuming death grows more necessary each day. To me, art’s ultimate gift is agency: the ability to create amid destruction, imagine new structures, and renew old vows. For the children we are raising and the sacrifices that raised us, may we actualize a world without end where flourishing is survival.
This event is part of The Bronx Museum’s Family Programs, which offer free, hands-on art experiences for all ages, including young children and their caregivers.
RSVP optional; drop-ins are welcome! Questions? Please email education@bronxmuseum.org
