Wistariahurst Museum, Annual Community Ofrenda

Get ready for another amazing Dia de Los Muertos celebration with Attack Bear Press and Wistariahurst Museum with a special calaveras (skull) painting activity during the museum’s Sensory Friendly Trick or Treat event. Guests are welcome to relax and paint outside or inside Wistariahurst’s Carriage House if the weather is poor. Dia de Los Muertos is a special tradition that allows people to celebrate and remember deceased loved ones by decorating an ofrenda, a communal altar dedicated to those dearly departed. On October 25th, we invite you to paint your clay calaveras to add to the annual ofrenda hosted at the Wistariahurst Museum. Thanks to Attack Bear Press, all painting materials and calaveras will be provided at the event. You may also bring a photograph of your departed loved ones to not only add a personal touch to your artwork, but also so the community can honor and remember them as well. Don’t miss this unique chance to connect with the rich tapestry of Dia de Los Muertos and contribute to a vibrant, communal ofrenda. We invite you to join us, and we encourage you to bring your friends and family to celebrate with all of your loved ones. Viewing for the 8th Annual Holyoke Community Ofrenda will be available for special open hours on October 31st, 12:00-2:00pm, November 1st, 12:00-2:00pm, and November 2nd, 10:00am-2:00pm. We can’t wait to see the collective beauty and heartfelt tributes created by our very own community and celebrate this important holiday!
