In memory of our Dear Muertos who live forever in our hearts

Back to the Picture Latin American Gallery welcomes curator/artist Calixto Robles in our 9th Annual Day of the Dead Art Exhibition.  Over 25 artists have created works and altars to celebrate El Día de los Muertos, honoring friends and loved ones who have passed on.  A joyous holiday, El Día de los Muertos is a time when the lives of the dead are celebrated and remembered, often by the creation of ofrendas, or altars with offerings, which feature items that the departed treasured during their lifetimes.

Our multi-media exhibit features artwork including prints, paintings, mixed-media, photography, sculpture, assemblage altars, installation artwork, and more.
