We gather to remember those who have passed away. As Day of the Dead approaches Fulgencio and his team of fellow artists and community volunteers are busy creating sand paintings for a dozen local museums, schools and cultural institutions in the Seattle area. The annual celebration has become so popular in Seattle since Fulgencio's first sand painting in 1991, created on the upper floor of El Centro de la Raza's original building and stretching from end to end. Today he created this design, in honor of all musicians and music lovers who have passed away for the Seattle Symphony Orchestra's 1st Annual Día de los Muertos Celebration.
