Implementation of programs, lectures, and a special event exploring Día de los Muertos.

Sun Valley Museum of Art is intent on building community among diverse groups and will bring people together in shared celebration of traditions, starting with a year-long project on Día de los Muertos. This community celebration will engage members of Spanish and English speaking communities in making, learning and celebrating this important and diverse holiday while cultivating an understanding of its history and meaning and nurturing respect for traditions that are familiar to some and new to others. Scholars, authors and artists will be invited to the community to provide historical background and contemporary perspective and to engage the community in conversation around the value of shared traditions.
