On October 30th, I participated in the Dia de los Muertos celebration at the South Broadway Cutural Center. The event was a mixture of art, live music, children's activities, food, vendors and most imporatntly... culture. There were well over 1,000 visitors that attended the gallery reception this year!

I was proud to hang my serigraph print (seen above) next to the work of such great local artists... including my very talented friends Jeremy Montoya, Albert Vasquez, John Bicknell and Lisa Rossignol.

Jeremy and I had a booth in the vendor area. We each designed and screen printed limited edition event posters. Along with the posters, we sold our new Muerto t-shirts and postcards...

We were also asked to participate in the juried alter contest. We created little muerto characters on wood blanks, using acrylic/mixed media... and dressed up our alter with screen printed streamers, flowers and art prints...

To our surprise... the Mexican Consulate of Albuquerque chose our alter for one of three awards given. Along with our award for "mas original alter" we received loaves of freshly baked pan dulce... delicious!!
