Indianapolis Art Center

Dear Artist and Collaborator: Thank you very much for your interest in the Indianapolis Art Center’s ninth annual El Día de los Muertos/The Day of the Dead programs. We are glad you want to be a part of our exhibition of altars and shrines, workshops and celebration.

Please review the information about the traditional Mexican celebration of The Day of the Dead holiday, as well as the guidelines for proposing an altar or shrine (or both) for our exhibition. In order to be considered for inclusion, please complete and return your proposal to the Indianapolis Art Center by September 5, 2008. Forms arriving after that time will be evaluated for inclusion as space permits.

As in previous years, workshops and public tours of our exhibition are being planned for the months of October and November through our Outreach Department.

• The altar exhibition is on view in the Indianapolis Art Center galleries from October 10 through November 15, 2008.
• The shrine exhibition is outside in ARTSPARK and is on view from October 27 through November 9, 2008.
• Our celebration festivities will take place on Saturday, November 1 from 3-8 p.m. We invite you to join us!
• Proposals will be reviewed by September 12. Upon acceptance of your proposal design, we will notify you with further information. 

Thank you again for your support of this wonderful cultural tradition!
