Fulgencio led a team of fellow artists, community volunteers and teens from Seattle World School to create an installation at the Seattle Art Museum to celebrate Day of the Dead. The exhibit will be on display through November 7th and can been seen during regular museum hours. On Thursday, October 30th there will be an opening event, Community Night Out, with live music by Banda Gozona, dancers from Grupo Cultural Oaxaqueno and tamales, of course. The event is free and open to the public. Here's the link. http://seattleartmuseum.org/visit/calendar/events?EventId=29235. Hope you will join us.

Remembering those who have passed away

Day of the Dead is approaching and Fulgencio is planning installations at the Seattle Art Museum (his 19th annual), at Tacoma Art Museum, at Mighty Tieton (in eastern Washington), at El Centro de la Raza, at Seattle Center, and several other local venues.
