FIESTA NOCHE DE RECUERDOS ALTAR

In Memory of Jackson Wheeler

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a time to honor those special people who were part of our lives and have now passed to the spirit life. It has become a part of the Carnegie Art Museum tradition to build an altar (ofrenda), and with each year it keeps getting bigger and better. This year we want to embrace the meaning of this tradition by honoring our dear friend, supporter, poet, art collector- Jackson Wheeler. Click here to participate and learn more.
