VIVA Mission Cultural Center! My first Day of the Dead

The Mission Cultural Center in San Fransisco CA is the place where I was first exposed to the Day of the Dead.

I was invited in 1986 to participate in an exhibition that was called "Rooms for the Dead". Each of 25 artists were invited to create an artwork inspired by the traditional Dia de los Muertos alters.
I see on their website that this has become a tradition at the center.

2008 a Year of Great People and Projects

The United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County

Check this out! I just found it on a google search of my name! This was a great project that is very adaptable to most school and community environments.

"The United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County has spearheaded an unusual project designed to build community spirit among students at the DuBois Center and Forest Pines Elementary School in Wake Forest, NC. The innovative visual arts project is designed to build a sense of pride among students, to demonstrate multiple groups working together toward a common goal and to begin a common heritage as the center grows toward its renewed purpose. "Cut from the Same Cloth" is an arts education residency featuring Maryland artist Caryl Henry-Alexander."
