Milagros & Memories

Exhibition Dates:
* October 13 – November 5

Many Mexicans believe that the spirits of the dead return to enjoy a visit with their relatives and friends on The Day of the Dead.

This Mexican holiday has its roots in the ancient Aztec custom where families welcome back the souls of their deceased friends and Family for a reunion that includes food, drink, and celebration. A blend of Mesoamerican ritual, European religion and Spanish culture, the holiday is celebrated each year from late October to November 2.

Come and celebrate the traditions of el Día de los Muertos at the Sausalito Center for the Arts during the month-long exhibition that includes art by the legends of the San Francisco Mission district, other Latinx artists of the Bay Area, and a great collection of whimsical Mexican art and crafts.

Honor and remember the lives of those who have passed by contributing to our two alters and make the tradition come alive.
