    Each autumn Mexic-Arte Museum invites individuals and organizations in the Austin community to participate in the creation of their own altars in remembrance of their relatives or friends. This year, the community altars will be displayed in the Museum’s Back Gallery from October 20, 2008-November 9, 2008. The altars are adorned with traditional ofrendas (offerings) including flowers, photographs, and images of calaveras (skulls). We are also inviting individuals and organizations to create portable altars for the Procession. All altar artists receive free admission to the Dia de los Muertos Celebration on November 1.
