Take Care of Yourself This Election Season

Heading into a stressful 2020 election, we’ve invited artists to share some simple ideas and reflections on the theme of creativity and self-care. The Creative Self-Care videos will be released on our website and social media. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube and, if you feel inspired, share your own stories of creative self-care! #creativeselfcare #richmondartcenter

Día de los Muertos

Ofrenda Activity for Día de los Muertos

Traditionally a Día de los Muertos altar is an intentional space dedicated to a person or people that have passed away. Use this activity sheet to create your own altar in memory of someone that has passed. You can include anything you want to celebrate them; photos, foods they like, flowers, etc. There is no right or wrong way to use this template to remember a love one!
