Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is a tradition that began around 3,000 years ago among ancient cultures like the Aztec, Toltec, and Nahua. These pre-Columbian societies believed that when people passed away, it wasn't the end but just a natural part of life's cycle.

They thought of the spirits of the deceased as still being part of their community, even after death. To honor and remember them, they held special ceremonies where they offered things like water, food, and tools. These offerings were meant to help the spirits on their journey to the afterlife.

Just like how we celebrate Dia de los Muertos today, these ancient cultures believed that during these ceremonies, the spirits of their loved ones would come back to visit them on Earth. It was a way to stay connected to those who had passed away and keep their memory alive.



Join us at Wolf Martinez Gallery for an exciting Dia de los Muertos art show, happening alongside the vibrant Dia de Los Muertos Event in Old Town, Albuquerque. We're thrilled to host a regional art exhibition celebrating the Day of the Dead, and we're inviting artists from New Mexico to be a part of this creative celebration. The event will run from October 28 to November 4, 2023.

If you're an artist in New Mexico and you have a passion for Dia de los Muertos, we encourage you to apply for this unique exhibition. It's a wonderful opportunity to showcase your talent and share your interpretation of this annual holiday. Whether you work with paintings, sculptures, or any other artistic medium that captures the spirit of Dia de los Muertos, we'd love to see your work.

To participate, there is a $30 nonrefundable application fee, which covers up to three entries of your artwork. Rest assured, your art will be featured in an event that will be extensively promoted, ensuring a large and enthusiastic audience to appreciate your creativity.

We look forward to receiving your applications and having your art contribute to the richness of our Dia de los Muertos celebration. Don't miss this chance to be a part of a memorable cultural event!

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our readers and talented artists who make events like this one possible.
