"Death Becomes You / La Muerte eres Tu"

Since 1977, MCCLA has joined with other community-based institutions to create an artistic space from which to celebrate Day of the Dead (El dia de los Muertos), where our community honors the deaths of our ancestors, our family members and our community leaders.

The theme of this year's MCCLA exhibit is "Death Becomes You/La Muerte Eres Tu," recognizing the importance of providing guidance to those souls that have lost their way in the journey, assisting the souls who have lingered, and to nurturing the spirits beginning their returns to the spirit realm. This year's exhibition features traditional and contemporary altars. The celebration includes a sugar skull demonstration, Danza Azteca, Pan de Muertos, mask making, face painting and more.
