El Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead 2010

The Indianapolis Art Center invites families to celebrate the festival of Day of the Dead. This year's celebration will be on Saturday, October 30, 2010, 3-8 p.m. with activities taking place throughout the months of October and November (download events schedule).

The Indianapolis Art Center's Outreach Department began providing Day of the Dead programming in 2000 as a response to the growing Hispanic and Latino populations in Indianapolis. Through the years the Art Center has found Day of the Dead programming to expand and bridge all communities because of a common experience shared among all people: death.
