Richmond Art Center preps for ‘Día de los Muertos: Fall Family Day’
By Kathy Chouteau | October 15, 2024
The Richmond Art Center (RAC) is diving in to the spirit of the season with a free-admission “Día de los Muertos: Fall Family Day” Saturday, Oct. 19 from 12-3 p.m.
The center’s courtyard will come alive with art activities, music and a live performance by Danza Azteca Teokalli, which is presented in partnership with Arts Contra Costa County (ARTSCCC).
Activities offered up that day by the RAC will span the gamut from a Community Mural with Luis García (@luismayanx) to Repujado with Rachel-Anne Palacios (@devikaspalacio) to DIY Smudging with Vane Hernandez to Make Your Own Avatar with Joell Jones and Kim Thoman and Día de los Muertos Coloring Pages. DJ José Ruíz (@mundomuzik) will spin the tunes. The RAC’s galleries will also be open for viewing and a Gallery Search and Find activity.
Volunteers are still needed to help out with the event. Interested parties can learn more and sign-up here.
The RAC is located at 2540 Barrett Ave. in Richmond; RSVPs for the event are not necessary.
