Catrina Painting Days

Come paint a Catrina painting for our Dia de los Muertos exhibit opening at the Firehouse Art Center!

The name, Catrina Ball, refers to the Calavera Catrina – a 1910–1913 zinc etching by the Mexican printmaker, cartoon illustrator and lithographer José Guadalupe Posada. She is offered as a satirical portrait of those Mexican natives who, Posada felt, were aspiring to adopt European aristocratic traditions in the pre-revolution era. La Catrina has become an icon of the Mexican Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead.

All ages are invited to join us in celebrating Dia de Los Muertos with community painting of Catrina's for our South Gallery/Public Library Exhibition and Dia de los Muertos Exhibit opening! Painting will occur outdoors as well as in our Main and upstairs galleries.We hope that you will join us to create these works of art that support and sustain the Firehouse Art Center, while educating the community on this wonderful cultural event!

All materials for this activity are provided, (the paper is 3’x6’) but a $5-10 donation would be much appreciated!

Many times and days offered to fit into your schedule! Please reserve your spot!
