Catrina Painting Days

The name, Catrina Ball, refers to the Calavera Catrina – a 1910–1913 zinc etching by the Mexican printmaker, cartoon illustrator and lithographer José Guadalupe Posada. She is offered as a satirical portrait of those Mexican natives who, Posada felt, were aspiring to adopt European aristocratic traditions in the pre-revolution era. La Catrina has become an icon of the Mexican Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead.

All ages are invited to join us in celebrating Dia de Los Muertos with community painting of Catrina's for our South Gallery Exhibition and Dia de los Muertos Exhibit opening! Painting will occur indoors and outdoors to increase the capacity and we will be limiting attendance to keep with social distancing practices.

We will be auctioning off the Catrinas at the Exhibit Opening! We hope that you will join us to create these works of art that support and sustain the Firehouse Art Center, while educating the community on this wonderful cultural event!

All materials for this activity are provided, but a $5-10 donation would be much appreciated!
