Día de Muertos (Day of Dead) is a Mexican celebration of life to remember deceased loved ones. This year, in partnership with Maria Garcia of Revolución Coffee House, we've reimagined the festivities.

We will be hosting appointment-based viewings of folkloric art, altars, artist interviews, food, and more, in our our Lobby and Mezzanine. This week-long event will highlight the culture and history of Mexican communities and celebrate how the Day of Dead brings families, friends, and communities together to honor the past.

For public safety and Covid-19 precautions, we will be offering 20-minute appointments. Households (or pods) of 6 will be allowed into the space one at a time to explore the art and festivities.

Appointments are available during the following time slots:
Tuesday, October 27, 12 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Wednesday, October 28, 12 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Thursday, October 29, 3 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Friday, October 30, 3 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Saturday, October 31, 3 p.m. – 8 p.m.
